This has been in the making since the FCC's Triennial Review back in 2003. That report basically said if the carrier rolls out fiber (even if it's just to the node), you're SOL. Welcome to Verizon FiOS and ATT U-Verse. -- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions

VoIP faxing currently sucks. G.711 technically can do it, but if there is ANY network oddities, it won't work. T.38 is supposed to be the savior, but it's been hell getting my providers to work. Their vendors use broken implementations and refuse to fix it. -- Mike Hammett

If you look up the spec for G.726 you will find it supercedes the 722. That said, the 722 is the only ADPCM g code I would use. 726 has other things that I would not use. - Original Message - From: Mike Hammett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent:
