I fed up with X100P clone card and want to spurge for a better
solution.  I do not need a router or firewall within this device and
really just need basic features. I am considering ATA adapters such as
the Sipura 3000, Cisco ATA, Grandstream  488 or a Digium Wildcard
TDM400P with one FXO. Does anyone have direct experience with both
ATAs and the TDM400P with one FXO port they would share? Kind of Pros
and Cons on both solutions. You may reply off list. I appreciate any
suggestions and assistance. 

Thanks,  

Chip  

In my personal experience both are not good options. The SPA-3000 had
audion issues...sound level too low. Echo issues when gains settings
increased. The TDM400 is very sensitive to the motherboard/IRQ
management issues.

There is however a procedural solution that I arrived at in
frustration. Sign up for a DID with an ITSP the call forward your POTS
line to that number. Works beautifully. Not hardware required. You can
drop the iPBX completely if needed by simply defeating the call
forwardign and keeping a single analog phone handy.
