Re: Voice Over IP

["Dan" <dtoma@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Andy,

One single problem with this phone: like many other hardware phones,
including Cisco 79x0 series it does not have G.723 codec.
The majority of SIP soft phones does not have G.729 as a low bandwidth
codec
and G.711 is not allways suitable for low QoS links..
I have done some teste with Cisco ATA186 (G.711, G.723 and G.729) and in
some specific situations the best results I get with G.723, on some cable
connections.

Dan
