[Asterisk-biz] Who knows a good SIP-PSTN gateway

[drodden]

Why Asterisk specifically? Do you just need to be able to push calls out
to the PSTN from a SIP Soft Phone on your computer? You could just use a
SIP Gateway.

or

May work for your needs. You simply push a SIP call to it and it routes
it out to the PSTN. I am not sure it supports authentication or
registering, but I'll be getting one of these two devices soon. If it
supports registering/authentication, then if it gets a call, it can send
it to you wherever your connected and registered to it from. 
We want to use these to "extend" the reach of our Asterisk server. We'll
put 1 or two of these in cities where we don't want to get a T1 PRI.
Just hook it up, it registers with Asterisk, and now we can make and
receive calls from that area.
