Hello,
It is the most compressed out of all
the audio codecs
As a matter of fact and as far as I know, the G.729 codec and G.729A
codec are more compressed than gsm.
(It could be that it is not
supported by twinkle or other clients, I don't know )
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.729
Yes I'm very interested though I haven't got around to get my asterisk
working for me, and family say that for now they are happy with skype
so I don't need the Isareli number.
Thanks for the update.
