Yep, but as far as I know Unlimitel only supports g711 and g729 so the only matching codec is g711.

Ian, > Also, you'll find that if you're using free soft phones, you're not going to be able to do anything other than g711 to the home users. The free Idefisk IAX softphone works great for us, and supports G.711, GSM, Speex and iLBC (no G.729 though).

Hi Chuck, You're going to want to look into the reinvite configuration option of asterisk. Basically what happens is that your asterisk box receives the call then passes it off to the home user's internet connection and then gets out of the loop. There are a couple of issues of doing it this way though. The first is that if the users are using NAT to get their internet connection, your call may not be able to route correctly (you'll have to play with some connections to see what works and what doesn't). The second is that every time I've tried it, once your asterisk box drops out of the call, it doesn't seem to log any more call details. That could just be another setting that I haven't got set correctly though. Bottom line; it's quite doable without spending any extra and saving your precious bandwidth. Also, you'll find that if you're using free soft phones, you're not going to be able to do anything other than g711 to the home users. - Ian On 7/13/06, *Chuck Mariotti* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I am trying to figure out a way to reduce bandwidth usage for my Asterisk box which using Unlimitel is IAX2 trunks. I am trying to get remote sales staff (with highspeed connections) to use softphones (not finalized on which one to use). I would like all calls to go through Asterisk, but at the same time, reduce bandwidth usage for those incoming calls that go to these remote extensions at people's homes. How can I get it so that those home users get calls to their extensions, without using two active connections on my Asterisk box (taking up bandwidth)? As well, how can I get these same home users to make outbound calls, without taking two active connections up? I guess what I am asking is, how do I get the home users to be an extension that I can make calls and receive calls with a simple talk straight to unlimitel without talking too much to my asterisk box. I would like to capture and report on these extension on my Asterisk box (inbound/outbound calls), but could live without if I had to. I hope I'm just not getting a simple concept here and it already does this automatically. Regards, Chuck
