I can't say I have superior suggestions really. My experience is mixed 
and very limited.  I also have not been impressed (LOL) with the 
Grandstream Handytone products, although I do believe that eventually 
if they survive long enough to produce proper firmware they will be ok.

I bought a 2 port (1fxs/1fxo) from WelltechUSA last week, and although 
the box itself seems solid, the documentation is worse then useless and 
the setup screens make you wonder how disorganized the internals might 
be.

I also have the AG168V which I have flashed with the IAX firmware.  
This device is also pretty cheap looking, but has worked pretty well 
for me, has a logical setup screen(the wellgate people should study it) 
  and pretty cool dial plan(I don't use this) and a PSTN fail over and 
dual use feature(You can select IPfirst or PSTN first).  The only issue 
with it that I have seen is that when I use uLaw (which I do), I seem 
to get an occasional "crack" in the audio(I have a suspicion this might 
be an asterisk issue, but have lost the thread where another user 
described similar and explained to me how to test) .

So, no I have no panacea to recommend.  Still,  I hate to see companies 
rewarded for poor support.

How about the new IAXY?
