Having purchased a license for 5 g729 channels on Digium's web shop I thought registration and installation would be a snap. NOT. I followed registration instructions to the letter but it failed with that message: ERROR! Your Internet connection is probably behind a proxy and the Registration program can't communicate with our server Which is stupid as my * box is a firewall and sits directly on the Internet whith no restrictions from in->out. Now I wrote to vonage as per the instructions further in the error message, requesting a certificate. I'm sure I'm not the only one going through all these hoops. - will vonage eventually will send me a certificate? - is there a cracked g729 binary out there? (which I plan to use inside my license agreement) - is it true that * has to be run with -c when using g729 ? -- If I had wanted your website to make noise I would have licked my finger and rubbed it across the monitor.

Definitely should contact us directly.> - is there a cracked g729 binary out there? (which I plan to use inside > my license agreement)Not as far as I know.> - is it true that * has to be run with -c when using g729 ?Yes, again we're trying to get Voiceage to fix the issue, but working with closed source, slow moving, intellectual property based vendors is generally a pretty miserable experience.

I must say I'm impressed that people are brave enough to (1) accept the long, restrictive and sometimes outright scary (did you read the parts about credit card charges, or the definition of "G.729 software" in connection with "Improvement by Licensee"?) licensing agreement and (2) run a binary module that touches strange parts of the machine and communicates that information over the network to a third party. I also feel sorry for Digium, because they have to take the heat from unhappy users. IMHO this codec should be avoided at all cost. --J.
