I'm testing outbound calls over a land line from a Digium, Inc. Wildcard AEX410 card and I get the beginning of words cut off. This appears to be something like VAD going on, but I don't see any settings for ftdm. My understanding is that VAD and CNG are off by default - and as per the demo? And the silence is too silent (no CNG) .. I don't see anything about CNG or VAD in any of the ftdm setup info? Could this be from echo cancellation? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Schmidt EMail Karl@xtronics.com Transtronics, Inc.
