[asterisk-users] Looking for good IAX ATA

[John Rogers]

Most ATAs I've seen are primarily SOC (System On Chip) implementations.
I've never really taken one apart, but perhaps now is a good time.  I
recently also purchased a QuickPhones QA-342 wifi rechargeable handset:

I was curious to try this out, even though I knew it was SIP only.  In the
office, it works GREAT - LONG battery life, good reception, but no IAX
support.  A good IAX ATA and IAX protocol stack in a phone like the QA-342
would be a hands down winner all around.

Immagine, being able to roam anywhere with a device like this or ATA and not
having to fuss with SIP/NAT.

I wish I had knowledge on building embedded devices, else I'd build my own
by now...
