I haven't actually tried talking .....

not sure what you are asking here.  I have checked an incoming call
through the FXO(PSTN) through to a FXS port (pabx)

The annoying thing is the spa9000 can talk to it with its fxs ports :(

"They didn't think we were a nation that could conceivably sacrifice for something greater than our self; that we were soft, that we were so self-absorbed and so materialistic that we wouldn't defend anything we believed in. My, were they wrong. They just were reading the wrong magazine or watching the wrong Springer show."
