That's good to know.

I'll rush out and buy one for use at home as soon as they support the
UK (BT) phone system for Caller*ID and distinctive ringing etc. (as
the SPA-2000 does for UK phone handsets).  My X101P will then be used
only to provide timing info etc.

As the SPA-3000 appears to contain hardware echo cancellation, I think
it'd make a worthy successor to the X101P.  The SPA-3000 costs around
the same as a X101P (from Digium), and you get a FXS port "for free".

If I get one and it has the same quality and reliability as the
SPA-2000 then I'll have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who
asks - and those who don't. :-)
