Sure, valid point you are making!

However, devices like Cisco 53XX (and others) do put 9 calls through 128
kbs using G723.
I have not tested it my self , but the www.transcom.com people say it
can be done. :) 
I presume if G729 where to be used instead then 6 calls would be the
figure.
Now the question is:
Can IAX be a BIG help here due to its method of sending packets? 
Also is IAX/IAX2 suitable for C or KU band satelites? 

BTW, does anyone know another provided similar to www.transcom.com ?
