I remember a thread a while back where someone was asking for a util to play .GSM files. I found this info at: http://voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+sound+files If you scroll 1/5th of the way down you will see some options for Playing GSM files on Windows: This can be done using freely available Quicktime player. You can use this free Winamp plugin http://www.mlkj.net/gsm/winamp_plugin_gsm_codec.php Another useful tool is j2 messenger. I would think that the Quicktime way would work on Macs too, and even the winamp plugin would be preferable to j2 messenger ;-) - Ben -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
