Here is a link to some additional resources which may be helpful in configuring the 5801 and other Zoom products

I just found out, the 5801 does not support voip to FXO bridging. Only FXS to FXO bridging is supported.
That's not an FXO then.

It is an FXO, it can do FXO->voip bridging. Just not the other way round yet. I guess it's planned for a future firmware revision, like t.38.
Yeah and the HT-488 is going to work perfectly "someday" too ;~) Actually I believe it will too.

This whole Voip arena seems to be filled with not ready for prime time products and vendors that sell half baked stuff with a promises of "future updates". Scary being a "early" adopter.

The Wellgate 3701a FYI, is a solid looking and seemingly workable 1 port 1FXS-1FXO.

Issues with the wellgate?
1) incredibly silly business practices when purchasing (ie WelltechUSA insisted on a wire for funds). 2) Laughably bad documentation. Really crap. Any 7th grade english speaker could improve the english is a couple of hours. It would still be useless though, as there is NO information. Basically figuring it out and configuring it are an exercise left to the user. 3) Seems that the FXS snips the first second or two of audio? This could be a configuration issue. 4) This device is only lately "compatible" with asterisk, so there isn't much help in this forum or in the wiki either. 5) poorly organized and missing configuration screens. Want to change the setup for the WAN port? forget it. unless this is hidden somewhere, it doesn't exist. I am using the LAN port only.

That's all that comes to mind at this second, there is probably more also.

Still, despite the hassle and the pain in setting it up, it is head and shoulders above the HT-488. At least it has fricking volume adjustments for each port. This goes a long way toward fixing echo issues like mine. My 15000+ft loop is now working well and is echo free. Even those cell phone calls coming in that were echo-rrific before are ok now. So it looks like it's a winner for me in that regard.

It's only been in service here for 4 days, so I will update if something pops.
