![]() Looking for recommendations for an ATA to install in parents' house where I will manage it remotely. Should provide POTS feedthrough so they continue using all their current handsets pretty much as they do now, with BT callerid. Would also like direct IP to IP calling. I have been recommended the SIPRA 3000. I couldn't see any mention of direct IP to IP calling in its spec though, and I found a hint in a review that this might not be supported. Looking for any confirmation or otherwise of this feature, and also recommendations of other ATA's that fit the requirement, or any to avoid. Thanks -- Andrew Gabriel |

Thanks -- Andrew Gabriel My SPA-3000 has a Yes/No choice to "Enable IP Dialling" BT Caller ID works perfectly. Here, the SPA-3000 passes the ID on to my Asterisk server & then on to my DECT phone. I have been very impressed/pleased with my SPA-3000. You can enable remote access & password protect it. |

Thanks -- Andrew Gabriel Another thought - even if IP dialling doesn't work, if both you & your parents have a VOIP service provider (there are free ones around - I use Sipgate.co.uk) you can dial each other's SIP number free of charge. |

Thanks for the responses. I didn't want to depend unnecessarily on a VOIP service provider when some of the family members have static IP addresses anyway. Seems to me to defeat part of the object of full VoIP. Some other family members are on skype which I believe can't work with ATA's directly (why is that -- do skype use something proprietry?). So I believe we would need to use a SIP VoIP service provider with the ATA's, which had a skype peering arrangement. -- Andrew Gabriel |

Skype uses proprietry software. There are no hardware based solutions AFAIK, excluding USB phones/headsets that require a PC to be turned on. There is some development of a client for Asterisk. There is a lot of useful information with regards to VOIP ATAs at http://voxilla.com or VOIP in general at http://www.voip-info.org |

![]() If you starting from scratch it would be cheaper to get a VoIP equipped router e.g. Draytek Vigor 2100V(cable) or 2500V. The 2600V has two VoIP ports but can't do pass -trough to POTS. Zoom X5V, no POTS IIRC. Possibly the best is the new Zyxel 2602HWL, 2 VoiP ports, different registrars, POTS and WIFI. BTW I reckon broadbanbuyer.co.uk has made error and are selling it cheaper then the 2602HW ! I promptly bought one, works OK, even got Voipbuster working. Regards, Martin |
