likely get your costs down significantly.

I agree ( I haven't owned a machine with a parallel port since 1985) and think this is great "option" to offer. In particular if a company/person has a BIG investment in a particular server (many g729 licenses), an option to lock to a dongle, even at an additional cost would be greatly appreciated IMO.

On the other hand, home experimenters like me probably prefer to have the $10 option to experiment with. I did find the 1 license was inadequate even for my rinky dink setup. Try using call waiting from a phone that's G729 ;~)

I ended up optimizing my routing and running uLaw throughout.
