I would like to see a secure voice communication protocol that is divorced from the particular details of the algorithms used (although a base level of some voice compression technique + DES + RSA will have to be used) That way, new and better algorithms can be dropped in depending on the network used (modem, ipx, tcp/udp, etc) and the bandwidth required (CELP vocoder, MPEG-audio, lossless encoding, progressive PCM, etc)
The codec used is at the very core of any computer telephony system. A standard that doesn't specify the codec(s) can be little more than a standard on message formats, which will be of little value if the other side doesn't implement the same codec. -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred.
