Yes - you can get g729 support but you have to pay on a per channel basis -

If you have say 30 phones you could probably get buy w/ 25 licences.
The licenses limit the concurent number of g729 sessions.

We use g729 on our Cisco 7940's and it works great - I can get a clear
conversation over single channel isdn - which was our goal.  This is
impossible using straight g.711.

To purchase go here.
