<div dir="ltr">In the past we have used Adtran Atlas 550's to
break out FXS ports for devices like modems. The great thing
about the 550 is that internally it is all TDM so there is
absolutely zero latency.

<div>We are able to use ATA's for faxes and analog phones but
devices that use modems, they fail 99.99% of the time when
using an ATA.</div>

<div>We tried to migrate to TA908 devices; they have FXS ports
built into the unit. Unfortunately the FXS ports are just
ATA's off of Asterisk, no different than a SPA2012 unit.</div>

<div>The 550 is getting long in the tooth and very expensive for
a few FXS ports, what are you folks doing when someone has a
need? It can be a modem for the power company to read the
meter, a postage machine that needs to get more postage, an
alarm system,etc.</div>

Finding less and less need for analog circuits. Alarm ->
envisalink, postage machine -> ethernet based, pos terminal ->
ethernet.<br>
<br>
Fax is really the only need recently, and even that has alternatives
like emailing scans that most people prefer now.<br>

<div>Is the customer buying a POTS line and splitting it the
