From my experience iLBC is unbeatable on lossy and slow links. I have been in situations where no other codec (GSM, Speex, G.729) worked and iLBC was still fairly usable. Jan. On 22-10 23:29, Matthew Simpson wrote: The number of codecs is overwhelming to me. What do ya'll consider the best

Working with X-Lite, iLBC is unuseable. The sound is completely scrambled, even without using Asterisk between 2 clients. While trying to use SPX, X-Lite connects to Asterisk, but no sound at all. Else, the GSM 06.10 is quite fair and works for everybody. Jean-Christophe - Original Message

GSM is fairly low bandwidth and sounds pretty good. G711 (ulaw/alaw) is by far the best, you can send faxes with it (and if I am not mistaken Ilbic) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Simpson Sent: Thursday,
