[asterisk-users] Asterisk & Linksys PAP2 ATA

[Nick Ellson]

Hey Bob,

I think the SPA31-2 is the new guy on the block. Only $10 more too mail 
order. $86 was the best I saw.

So I have the PAP2 with two cheapy $4 wall phones mounted in the kids 
room, they are calling each other and my laptop.. Only issue so far is 
that to call one PAP2 from the other there is a 10 sec delay before the 
ringback/ring occurs.. and a 3 & 5 year old can have an entire 
conversation before the phone even rings. ;) Calling from my X-Lite soft 
phone to the PAP2 is nearly instant.

But it does have my wife actually jazzed about having two more phones 
where she works in the house so she can join the fun.. Score! A free pass 
to buy more toys! Another PAP2 and a SPA3102 for me

Nick
