I tried a pair of HT488s at a client's premises about 3 months ago in an attempt to solve hangup issues I was having with a TDM400. It did actually solve the hangup issues, there was practically no echo, but like Phil Blundell, I found the thing would routinely decline to answer incoming calls after a few hours. Resetting the unit would clear the problem for another few hours, then rinse and repeat. > I've just bought an SPA-3000 to replace the HT488, though I > haven't installed it yet.

I have an SPA-3000 connected to my home phone line since the asterisk server in my workshop is some distance away from where the line comes into the house. In general it's been a reliable piece of kit, only being restarted on the rare occasions there's been a power cut or I've installed new firmware. Unfortunately, echo cancellation isn't great - there's a noticable echo on every call, and from time to time the line doesn't hangup properly. I'm sure with a few hours spent tweaking the unit I might be able to sort those issues out. The FXS side of all these units (HT-286,386,486,488 and SPA-3000) all seem to work fine. My inclination would be to go with the SPA-3000 if you expect to receive or make a lot of calls from the FXO port. If you only need FXO access from time to time, the HT-488 is quite a bit cheaper.
