<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">I have to use asterisk with some dedicated DSP chips, which will do the expensive G729 CODEC computing, so that the server processor has minimum load. I was informed, I've to use GPAK to implement this. So far I've researched, I've found that, Asterisk uses Dahdi to <i>talk</i> to external devices. </div>

The physical layer of communication between the host processor and a G.PAK DSP is often dependent upon the hardware design. This interface can be via a host port interface (HPI), shared memory, a PCI bus, Ethernet or any other fast data pathway.</blockquote>

Am I correct?</div>
