asterisk users - Feb 2007 - Trying to register an G.729 codec boght from Digium and the "register" command does aboslutely nothing

Hello: I got into a trap. As far as I know I do not need to pay any 
royalties to use G.729b in Romania, so I should have used other drivers. 
The installation procedure looked difficult so I decided to get one from 
Digium - it's not that expensive, my time is much more expensive.

Made the payment, got they key, downloaded and copied everything as in 
"http://kb.digium.com/entry/30/5/" but when I called
"register" I got no
result. Actually I do get the prompt asking me to use "-l" to see the 
licence, nothing after that. It gives no error message, nothing at all!

My first ethernet device is "eth0" so it's not that; I'm able
to browse
"https" sites so the ports are open. I *disabled* the firewall and
tried
again, no success, so it's not firewall related. What to do next?

Thanks.

It may be firewall related, when I did it (a while back) registration  
tool used some 'non-standard' port I had to open for it.
Still Digium support should help you there...

Digium support cleared the issue for me, they sent me a new "register"
utiliy by mail and this one worked as expected. I registered my codedc 
and tested my codec. If anyone needs to know, I tested the codec using a 
SIPURA 3000 ATA so I can confirm this ATA works with G729.

I'd like to add: Digium support responded very quickly.
