According to digium's site, "Note: Please do not attempt to use the G.729 code in a SCSI-only system. We are currently working with VoiceAge to correct this issue." (found at http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=asterisk_g729). Does anyone know what these issues are? Can anyone define SCSI-only system? I know this sounds kinda dumb, but I have a server with SCSI and IDE interfaces, but no IDE drives. Is that SCSI only? Thanks for your help, David Gomillion

Is that > SCSI only?The specific issue is that VoiceAge uses a copy protection method that binds the license to the filesystem. I believe, though I'm not certain, that this has to do with comparing the inode number of the drive on which the root filesystem is hosted with the inode number of same when the license was installed. In addition, the license is communicated back to a central server, so there's no possibility of installing the license twice, two different machines or no. -Tilghman

G729 WILL NOT WORK after installation *(it never realy installs but does the segmentation faults), * will not start, and you will need to prevent g729 module from Starting in order for * to start. So do not buy if your box is SCSI in any part. Ta SJ
OK - but what counts as a SCSI system? These days there are lots of pseudo-SCSI systems around - such as our server which runs a serial-ATA RAID but the driver is loaded as a SCSI device. Is that still IDE? Or SCSI?
