I am using the AG168V ATA which I bought from Atacom.  This device is a 
good working IAX ATA, that also can be flashed to an SIP image.

I have two of them, both work well, and have not had major issues.  
There does seem to be a slight audio artifact (a crack) from time to 
time in the IAX mode,  but it isn't a show stopper.

PS Atacom did have to RMA one of the above. It was flakey out of the 
box, but they did so quickly and without hesitation, even though the 
problem was intermittent.
