I had an SPA-300...and just sold it off on Ebay. I replaced it with a TDM400 cards, which I just took out of service as well. The big issue with the SPA-3000 for me was the combination of echo and analog line level on the FXO. I could never get it quite loud enough and was always straining to head while jacking up the volume on my Polycom IP 600 phones. My solution was a hack that was supposed to be short term, but has worked so well I may stick with it. I had call forwarding put on my one remaining POTS line and forwarded it to a DID that I had setup through an ITSP but was not using heavily. Now all incomming analog calls go through that ITSP and actually arrive via my DSL. I can shut off call forwarding and answer the line with a backup analog handset if my DSL goes out. I had set this up to help me bridge a new server into production. That machine is a small form factor box running Astlinux. At the time Astlinux did not support the TDM card. It does as of the 0.2.6 release, but the call forwarding trick sounds better than the TDM. Michael -- Michael Graves [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sr. Product Specialist www.pixelpower.com Pixel Power Inc.
