G729 is currently not available due to patent and license issues. You
will find that G711 is fine on a local network, and asterisk does real
well using IAX protocol and GSM codec. So if you are deploying enough
phones to make it worth while to drop a * machine on the LAN with the
hardphones you are set. Otherwise you might want to look at the Snom
phone since it supports GSM.
