I can't speak so fondly of the Azatel which I had sitting around after 
a canceling a VOIP service. Maybe I just need a new firmware rev (but 
they don't exactly make those available at the Azatel site). Plus, the 
web interface is excruciatingly limited. I mean, you can't even 
configure echo cancellation.

I think the ATA186-L2 is kind of pointless at this stage. It's old 
hardware...although Cisco did end up issuing a firmware update last 
year. Still, there's got to be some reason why Cisco as switched to 
using a Sipura produce (the PAP2)....BTW the ATA186 was designed by 
some of the Sipura folks as well.

My choice is still Sipura-branded equipment. There's no way of knowing 
how often firmware will be released for the Linksys-branded stuff or 
what level of support there will be.
