We have two Astribank-8 units. We couldn't get our fax machine to work 
with it (it didn't like the echo), and the echo on analogue calls can be a 
bit bad at times (especially far end echo).

Xorcom are supposed to be working on the echo issue, but the last drivers 
they supplied us didn't fix it completely, and we haven't heard from them 
in months about versions with better echo cancel.


If you can get one on a trial, I'd say give it a whirl and see if the echo 
problems affect your calls or not. You might get lucky, otherwise you 
might have more luck getting working echo cancel drivers out of Xorcom...
