Re: [Asterisk-Users] G.729 vs. G.729 pass thru

[Joshua Colp]

Hi,   G.729 requires a license from Digium no matter what. As long as asterisk doesn't have to encode anything for transmitting as G.729 you can use passthru, this does mean however you will lose the asterisk features such as voicemail. The way the codec for asterisk works is it is based around your IDE hardrive (for the license), thus using a SCSI hardrive will not work. Digium is working with the company who made the asterisk codec however so that SCSI will work in the future.   - Joshua Colp.   ----- Original Message ----- From: <Unavailable ID> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 6:32 PM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] G.729 vs. G.729 pass thru Hello everyone,   If you don't have Digium card but you want to use G.729 codec, do you need a license for it?   If the VoIP termination point supports G.729 and you are using sip phone (soft/hard phone), can you use the G.729 pass thru or you have to buy the license?   Have anyone test it with SCSI system?  Seems like it only work on machine with IDE disk.    Thanks.
