Dear friends: Very thanks for all your help. I have made many changes to my scrip this days, fixing up some problems and mistakes I found. It seems now I have a very acceptable VoIP quality, and everything is working notably better. I am actually using 450kbit of the total 512 available. Next step I will take is to investigate about ESQF, so, I can implement it to my script. I will be annoying by here later ;-) Thanks.
