<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>G.729 requires a license from Digium no matter
what. As long as asterisk doesn't have to encode anything for transmitting as
G.729 you can use passthru, this does mean however you will lose the asterisk
features such as voicemail. The way the codec for asterisk works is it
is based around your IDE hardrive (for the license), thus using a SCSI hardrive
will not work. Digium is working with the company who made the asterisk codec
however so that SCSI will work in the future.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you don't have Digium card but you want to use
G.729 codec, do you need a license for it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If the VoIP termination point supports G.729 and
you are using sip phone (soft/hard phone), can you use the G.729 pass thru or
you have to buy the license?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have anyone test it with SCSI system? Seems
like it only work on machine with IDE disk. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
