[Asterisk-Users] ArtDio equipment, anyone tested?

[Clif Jones]

I would stay away.  I have evaluated these units and returned them.  I 
determined that this
unit or one from them that fits this description was actually a unit 
that you put between
your phone and your phone line (1 FXS & 1 FXO claim) and hook to the 
ethernet.  This
unit would connect the FXS line to the FXO line for PSTN calls and would 
connect the
FXS line to the VOIP connection for VOIP related calls.  You could not 
have a VOIP
to FXO call or visa versa.  This is not a FXO line in my book but rather 
a "life line".  Basically
it is an end-user toll bypass box meant for use with certain service 
providers.  The next
cheapest solution which I am working with now are the MultiTech units.  
These units are
about double the price and still are not great but they appear to work 
for basic call.
