any license-encumbered codec like g729 will most likely be included in commercial software only. The packages listed above are pay-for only.

g729 and g711 ulaw

hi

will the vicidial having the g729 will decode the voice to an agent who is using g711ulaw or alaw softphones.

1.vicidial server with g729
2. carrier only supports g729
3.all the ubuntu workstation with exiga "exiga with ulaw codecs"

does the ubuntu workstation agent with get the calls

asterisk will translate from and to any codec as long as it has both.

There is no longer EyeBeam for Linux. Counterpath produces a new product called Bria which works on Both Windows and Linux and includes the G729 codec. However, their licensing system does not work properly on the Linux version we tried it with. On Ubuntu 12 we could not get it to work consistently. It worked ok with one agent but the moment two or more agents log in, it actually locks up the Asterisk service on the server. We ended up having to replace several Ubuntu workstations with Windows because we had already purchased the licenses (which are not cheap BTW.) Counterpath customer service and support were not sympathetic to our woes even though we have spent $1000 on their software. ADVICE: Don't buy too many licenses until you are sure that it works with your site / os.

Have not tried Zoiper un Linux yet but we will probable buy a couple licenses to see how it works.

Is there any free iax softphone that support more than 2 accounts? I tried Zoiper (Windows version support up to 3 accounts, linux version only 2).

Yes, SFLphone only problem is that its easy to take a look at the passwords of the accounts, at least in debian squeeze package version (0.9.8 )
But please keep to topic or start a new thread

Thanks! Yate softphone - this is what I was looking for.

Is there any webphone that works on LAN? Asterisk server is behind NAT (doddlephone does not work).
