[Freeswitch-users] Transcoding G723

[Nicolas Brenner]

I had to go with Asterisk because my VoIP providers only accept G729.
I love FS and I have it on standby until either my providers accept
other codecs (I'm trying to convince them of using Speex), or FS can
transcode G729.
Anyway, congratulations to the whole development team, and everybody
on this list who help other people get started with FS, this is a
really great project/software/platform!
