[Asterisk-Users] Has anyone tried using a Sipura-3000 as an FXO device for *?

It saves having to wait for an inter-digit timeout to expire when
dialling via the FXS port.  The SPA-[123]000 dialplan will recognise
your dial string and send it immediately to Asterisk (if so configured).
Asterisk will take it from there.

You can apparently use the SPA-3000 dialplan to specify that the
call should go via its FXO port, without going via Asterisk.  This
could be useful for emergency services.  I don't have a SPA-3000 yet,
so I can't say what happens if you try to route an emergency call via
the FXO port and that port is in use.  Perhaps it sends the call to
Asterisk instead.  I'll find out when I get mine and play with it.
