Hi, as most of you are aware, Linksys PAP2 doesn't have an FXO
connector. My question is: Is there any device, like a splitter with a
switch, in a way I could connect my telephone set to it, and manually
be able to switch (like the old printers switches) to the line I want
to use? Thanks in advance

You should have probably bought an SPA 3000, since there's now a linksys
version (cost reduction model), It's quite cheap. (£55.40 inc VAT from
redstore).

Although, the one I ordered from them on the 10th has still not been
despatched and they haven't responded to my emails.

Thanks a lot, I already knew the new SPA3000 but I just make VoIP calls
2 or 3 times a week...so I didn't want to spend 30 extra quids. If I
don't find a "mechanical switch" I'll manually change the cables every
time I need to do a call..
Thanks anyway for your reply.

Have a look at the "combine-a-line", I am using it on 2 VoIP lines and
it works great. Automatically switches incoming calls. Dont know how
well it works with a PSTN line though (but it should).

Would have done you.

It is a very simple ATA with FXS to FXO passthrough.
It has a button on the top that lets you easier switch between VoIP and
PSTN.

ProVu are only selling them through approved service providers.
