asterisk users - Jan 2004 - How to diagnose "pops" and "clicks"?

My setup is as follows:

Handset -> Sipura SPA 2000 -> Asterisk -> VoicePulse

and

Handset -> Sipura SPA 2000 -> Asterisk -> Digium X100P -> POTS

I notice when making VoicePulse calls (but *not* POTS calls through the 
X100P) that there is significant "popping" and "clicking" on
the line.
This isn't enough to interfere seriously with the call, and the voice 
quality is otherwise "telephone quality."  People I'm calling to
don't
report hearing the pops and clicks on their end.

I'm looking for advice as to how to best diagnose this problem.

Interesting.  Last night I placed a call:

Budetone 102 -> Asterisk -> VoicePulse

I periodically noticed  pop/click followed by a brief silence.  The
person I was speaking to couldn't hear this.

Hi All,

I am looking into setting up my asterisk server in the next couple of days,
and came across the G.729 codec.  I have got the TDM dev kit from Asterisk
and want to try the new codec.  But for that, do I need to buy 2 or just 1?
I am bit unsure of the licensing needs.  Any help is appreciated.

Dinesh.
