class=056095815-22112005>I personally prefer a single-box solution with a TDM400
(although I am one of the rare people who haven't had problems with the X100Ps I
have put in). My office uses an SPA-3000 on a phone line that has call forward
on busy to an iax.cc DID line, therefore I speak from experience with both types
of solutions.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=056095815-22112005>Since I just happen to prefer a single box solution, I
normally recommend going with the TDM400.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=056095815-22112005>In those cases where it is too inconvenient to get a
phone to the server, the SPA-3000 works just fine. I have been running this
setup for several months and it has been flawless.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=056095815-22112005>So...in my opinion, its more of a matter of what is
most appropriate for your needs. If you have convenient access to a phone line,
and may expand past a single phone line, then the TDM400 makes more
sense.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

want to spurge for a better solution. I do not need a router or firewall

anyone have direct experience with both ATA’s and the TDM400P with one FXO port
they would share? Kind of Pro’s and Con’s on both solutions. You may reply off
list. I appreciate any suggestions and assistance. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
