As mentioned previously, recommending a specific device basically 
assumes one understands exactly what type of pstn connection you've got, 
how far you are from the central office, etc. Some folks have had good 
luck with the spa3000 (and some not). The TDM400 card from digium works 
pretty good, but can be less then acceptable in some cases. The Sangoma 
A200D (with hardware EC) works very well on all pstn lines that I've 
tested, but is rather expensive.
