That 24Kbps would make sense as G.729 should compress the voice to 8Kbps for a unidirectional voice signal, so 16Kbps for bi-directional.... 24Kbps should be plenty for overhead and a bi-directional voice stream. However, if you want you could use G.729b (or G.729ab if you happen to be using medium complexity) to enable Voice Activation Detection (VAD) and that can reduce your overall bandwidth utilization by up to 40% by not sending data when a party is not talking (and throw on some comfort noise while using VAD). That kicks azz, as that would lower the bandwidth needed for a G.729b (or ab) call to roughly 14.4Kbps, so you could (in theory) jam up to four simultaneous (close-to-toll-quality) calls over a single 64Kbps line. NICE!!
