[Asterisk-Users] HandyTone 488 ata?

[Jerry Jones]

We started out useing SPA2k but they were prone to stop talking to  
the ethernet. OK after reboot for awhile but cannot keep going to  
customer sites and rebooting things.
switched to spa2001 and somewhat better but they keept losing  
registrations and then could not talk to them remotely. Again the  
reboot issue.

Then switched to 386 and the couple I tried worked ok so then  
installed several 286. Bad move. The 286 regularly lose registrations  
and lock up. Have beugun replacing them with some 386. so far other  
than a doa my best luck is with the 386, Of course I do have one that  
is working great, but I can no longer talk to it:( Will have to  
replace next time I get onsite with that customer.
