Yes, howler went away quietly. I saw the Wiki article but never brough up
one item:

1. Has anyone tried it yet?
2. If I connect to FS using g.729, what would be in place to transcode
system prompts, etc.?

If it is installed but system prompts are inaudible or unintelligible, that
should also be addressed.
