Good point. It would be great if I could have (say) up to 30 G729 sessions, and beyond that it "failed over" to G711.<BR>

If you are running a high traffic system, be careful and check CPU utilization, as another 50 transcoding sessions might put you into dangerous territory. Digium or Sangoma are you friends in that case. Their boards take a lot of load off a high traffic system. What I don't know is if both technologies can coexist in one system (120 transcoding sessions from a Digium board + XX soft licenses) how would it decide which to use first?<BR>

It just seems that it might be more sensible, when out of licenses, to<BR>
at least offer the prospect of a call using an alternative codec.<BR>
Sometimes it's hard to predict how many licenses are required.<BR>
