But you still need someone to be able to talk to. Ken's point is it works great when you're only calling your other Speex phones, but as soon as you want to talk to someone else you'll find they don't have Speex. You then have to use another codec... a common standard one that's been around for so long everyone supports it... like G729.<br>

If hardware doesn't support it, make one that supports Speex right out<br>
of the box. I'm pretty sure that somebody will do it.<br>
