They've made it pretty clear that isn't going to happen. I suspect its a 
lack of resources - memory and processing power - rather than being 
bloody minded and trying to maintain some differentiation for the 
SPA2102. They can only do one port of G.729, and I assume that is more 
than just saving on per port patent licence fees.
