The 386 ATA can have 2 accounts/lines configured and the 101's a 1
account phone.

Looks like I need to look at others then although I've currently testing
2 providers via softphone, but might need more. I had ordered a Sipura
3000 from Inmac, despite advertising 4 days delivery, this turned into
an indefinate delay so I cancelled.
Any recommended supplier who might have one in stock? I'm currently
looking at broadbandstuff.co.uk
Thanks,

Is this the Linksys branded one? I'll try a few places and see who else
has one in stock as Provu seems rather expensive (unless they are
offering accs that others are charging extra for?).

No, it's an original Sipura style case. Good luck in your search.
£80 odd quid isn't too bad, to say they have them in stock.
What accessories might you expect? You get everything you need (leads &
converters) except a phone, an internet connection & a phone line.

That sounds good, it was the converters for BT phone + line plus a UK
mains adaptor I was uncertain about. I already have the internet
connection, phone line and SIP account  I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Having just got my hands on two PAP2's for 20.00 more than one Sipura
2000 cost me from Provu.I reckon the Sipura range are over priced and
IMO the PAP2 is a better product although I do not know why Linksys
bothered to include a so called quick start guide . It was a good job
I did have the knowledge of the Sipura set up or I would have been
pissing about with the PAP for ever and a day , God help anyone new to
voip that buys a PAP2 .

Why not go to Maplins and buy a phone cord complete with the right
connecters , I can't be doing with the converters I must have about
eight or nine in a cupboard at the moment .

Good idea! Either that or I've got enough parts and tools to make some.

I take it that they're not all that simple to set up then? I notice
someone has slated the Linksys SPA3000 in broadbandstuffs website:
http://tinyurl.com/jpg84
These devices sound like something that need constant re-configuring,
they're obviously not something you can fit and forget?

I've got two in constant use. Occasionally reboot them (once a month at
most) otherwise, they're forgotten about.
Both are connected to an asterisk server & provide an interface to the
PSTN & GSM networks.

I've ordered the (Linksys)SPA3000 from Broadbandstuff, so if Citylink
are on the ball it should be here tomorrow. No doubt I'll be back here
with some more questions about it. Are there any config settings out
there for sip providers?

Well I've looked at the Asterisk port for my NetBSD box. Got it to
compile but unfortunately the Zaptel-netbsd package doesn't. That's a
longer term project. I'm planning to plug the ATA straight into my WRT54G.

I've got the same router with the DD-WRT firmware re-flash.
Most of the (decent) voip companies have specific settings on their
sites for the spa products, however, with the spa3000 you may want to
have a look around the forums at voxilla.com.

Will you be using a line card? With most configurations I don't think
you need zaptel unless you are.

No not at this stage although maybe I misunderstood that Zaptel was
required for conferencing facilities?

IIRC you need to at least load the dummy module for MeetMe, this may
have changed in recent versions.
