[Asterisk-biz] IAX2 Bandwidth Study

[Business Communications Net]

There are some really good points coming up here, the g729 i have
purchase, but it does not work on Free BSD?
I am on a cable connection, the up is 256 to 384 and the down is 3.5
megs,  I would like to have the g729 working on my box. we have put
Linux on so we can get it to work, but still no luck,....... so let me
get this striate, , , , if you have the band with, g711 is okay to use,
 Hummm,

is there any one out there blocking the ports that voip works on,  I am
hearing story's, could some on clear this matter up, thanks.
