Dear all, I have Asterisk 1.4 with SIP. I have a voicemail implemented with GSM sound files. The problem is I have IP phones Utopix HyperPhone 202 which support only G.729a/u and G.723.1 high/low, but not GSM. If I choose G.729A the "pass-throu" calls among users are OK, but Asterisk can't transcode GSM to G.729A in voicemail calls. My company doesn'y want to pay for a G.729

People, I will install asterisk on my Debian Etch box without a PSTN interface card. I want to use only softphones for the moment. My question are: 1) Is it enough to install with "apt-get" the asterisk 1.2 or do I have to get asterisk 1.4 manually ??? 2) Do I have to configure a dummy PSTN interface in my case ?? And if you have a debian-asterisk howto, I really thank you. Regards,
