Re: Proposed Aim for Speak Freely

Hi Listers,
Well, even pgpfone has some option for 11 khz gsm audio, which sounds better
than 8khz obviously, but unfortunately There are lots of sound breakups and
losses from time to time, but what we can get from the 2.1 wind0wz version
which comes with source is the how2-encrypt key-exchange method befor
conversation begins and all such things. Unfortunately pgpfone uses its own
kind of protocol, the reason behind it i do not understand. Are the other
protocols not safe enough for encryption or why had they to invent a new
voip protocol?
Regards, Attila.
