Yep, like G729, however I think GSM together with iLBC are 2 of the
better ones to use as they are low bandwidth consumption, but I could
be wrong.

Yeah, been there done that with PSTN cards and echo. I can't even
remember how I sorted out my echo problems, but I had them with PSTN
and the ISDN too. I remember reading a big long boring document about
it since they always say it's important to understand how and where
echo is generated.

I idle in #asterisk on irc.freenode.net, that's where you hear about a
lot of the latest developments with Asterisk as people like Brian West
idle there too (occasionally Mark pops in, too). I remember being told
by somebody the new dialplan is gonna rock.

As for the noisy Asterisk mailing list, that's why Gmail was invented
(at least for me!). I use it for personal mail and mailing lists (like
SLUG). That way I read posts that capture my interest and then they
are neatly tucked away in one of my labels out of my sight :-)

Cheers,
