I have two original Sipura SPA-3000 (dark green boxes) and they work like a charm, no echo fax is going through IN/OUT every time) they work almost perfect.
However, I bought a used one SPA-3000 (silver case) it was made after Linksys took over from Sipura and this unit is a piece of junk, it is even worse then 
SPA-3102, the PSTN line has so much echo it is impossible to conduct the conversation and trying to send or receive a fax fails every time; I've tried 
different firmware without any success, stay away from Linksys units.  \
I think they couldn't fix it and sold the unit to Cisco :-/ (my guessing, I don't know what is the story), but they don't work for me.
The only port I was able to use is FXS.

So, look for luck somewhere else.
