Thanks for the information and feedback on Asterisk Andres, that's  
helpful.  I assume when you say that you'd use one two-port ATA  you  
mean something like a Linksys PAP2T VoIP adapter?

That's interesting, good to hear firsthand that the Aastra's are as  
good as the reviews suggest.

Also good to know that there may still be life in the Panasonic  
cordless handsets that we've used for years with decent results.

I appreciate the details.  It appears Teliax supports IAX trunking,  
I'm curious if you have any comments on SIP vs. IAX(2) trunking?
