I just got a SPA3000 and I have some slight echo issues there as well although I
havn't upgraded the firmware yet so that may go away.

No, the only distinctive ring feature of the SPA3k is to ring the FXS port
in different ways.  There are however cheap boxes on Ebay that will detect
distinctive ring and route the call to different phones/SPAs so this might
be an option.

Not so far as I can tell.  It does detect faxes but it doesn't seem to do
much with that info.
