Hi Rupa,<br><br>Thanks for this.<br><br>Re: regular mode, are we saying to set both bypass-media and proxy-media to false, and this would put it into regular mode ?<br><br>I'll look into alternatives re: proxy per your feedback.<br>

<div>Hi Rupa,<br><br>Thanks for your feedback.<br><br></div>One thing that caught my eye in your reply is you mentioning that proxy media is a special hack for T38. The reason I'm using proxy mode is to fully mask the identity of end points from each other. If there is another of achieving this in FS then I am definitely very interested in hearing about it and implementing it.<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">You also mention regular mode, and I couldn't find mention of this anywhere in the Wiki. So far, my understanding was that you could run FS in either proxy or bypass media modes. Can you elaborate a little bit and discuss this a bit more ?<br>

</div>Yes, you can use proxy media, bypass media, or even regular mode if<br>
you don't transcode (special for g729). Proxy media is really a<br>
special hack that should only be used for T38 passthrough. If you are<br>
using it for other purposes, think about it some more....<br>

</div>That would require transcoding - which can't be done if the codec is<br>
pass-through.<br>

<br>
</div>I'd say look at the broadvoice or other simple self-contained codecs<br>
are done. Currently the only supported g729 solution is to use a<br>
digium board with mod_dahdi_codec.<br>
<br>
I don't have any info on a software based g729 solution.<br>
