[VoIP] Naive question

[Steph Kerman]

Do they really use hardware codecs?  I would think the codecs are 
implemented in the DSP firmware and that the firmware can inherently 
serve both ports simultaneously using independent compression algorithms. 

Even if they are using hardware codecs and using the DSP to transcode or 
implement the compression schemes, seemingly they would have to be able 
to function independently.

I guess we need to figure out how to unlock these ATAs without wiping 
out the Vonage configuration.  Is there a list somewhere of all the ATAs 
in popular use among CNET members at least?  Maybe a page could be set 
up where people could sign in and record their present equipment list, 
including routers.

A pulse/tone converter that is compact and easy to build is also on my 
personal wish list.
