I agree and understand the need to save space. I just wonder why we'd not combine two needs into one instead of using a different method for each purpose. If it is compressed in any type of zip format, then the file stays larger and gets transported around multiple places (email, web sites hosts, etc.), and then consumes that much more in storage space and bandwidth wherever it is used every time it is accessed. MP3 will also solve some issues with the embedded audio file in sipxconfig UI, because I believe both firefox and IE would be able to use the embedded code to play those voicemails, though right now just firefox can. The same method (which already exists) can be used to play conference MP3's and actually be "available" to more devices than a WAV file. At least, this is what i think. -- ====================== Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 sip: [email protected] Fax: 434.984.8431 Email: [email protected] LAN/Telephony/Security and Control Systems Helpdesk: Telephone: 434.984.8426 sip: [email protected] Fax: 434.984.8427 Helpdesk Contract Customers: http://www.myitdepartment.net/gethelp/ Why do mathematicians always confuse Halloween and Christmas?
