Why are you converting them to GSM?

Why not convert them to the technology you're using for your phones and 
trunks? That would be much more efficient.

(If you're using g729 for trunks, then that will sound better as GSM to 
g729 conversion does sound bad)

Or maybe it's your conversion software? What are you using?
