Thank you all for your explanations related to my question. I have one follow-up question though. When I said that all dsp related stuff has to be handled by software within asterisk, I was thinking of conferencing at the time. I mean in order to be able to conference a sip session with a PSTN

Dear Shahed, We are in process to done hardware DSP device for coding of G.729, G.723, GSM and other speech codecs. We will support the drivers for Asterisk, SER and OpenH323. The device will be available at middle of next year. There are 6 variants of the device: - USB with 16, 32 and
