VOIP hardware suggestion / solution.

    Planning on re-visiting my plan of a VOIP/PSTN hybrid setup over the next few weeks.
    I originally bought a Sipura SPA-3000 when I first got the Blueface account setup and had it all hooked so that the Eircom line could still be used for incoming calls and the VOIP line was used for outgoing.
    However, no mater how I set the Sipura up location wise (direct to router, in it's own DMZ etc) it was extremely unstable. This was about a year ago. Currently I have it just on the router without the PSTN connection as a stand-alone phone.

    Now that the aul broadband speeds are getting somewhat decent (coupled with the tempting 20mb offer from NTL) I'm planning on getting a VOIP solution setup once and for all.
    For the mean time though I'll need to keep the Eircom line as a backup until I can prove it's worthiness as a replacement.

    So, Is there any ATA out there that people prefer? or that works well?
    It will need to have a PSTN port like the SPA-3000, don't need any extra guff like a wireless AP built in. Just a solid ATA that will behave!

    Apologies for the rambling!

    linksys pap2 has worked really well for me... you can pick them up unlocked on ebay for about €30 and they work really well...
