Not to make you sound stupid, but TDMoE is Time Division Multiplex over Ethernet. TDM is the same as what is done on T1/E1 lines. TDM implies either ulaw or alaw encoding depending on your location. So therefore the codec translation occurs before the audio makes it to TDMoE. You probably would rather do IAX2 trunking as it uses only the necessary bandwidth needed for the in process calls. TDMoE will eat the same amount of bandwidth no matter what is being transported. Add to this the fact that just like real T1/E1 circuits, they can't be easily dynamically added. They have to be provisioned and then deployed. IAX2 will just scale to the ends of your bandwidth and CPU without additional setup. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
