I don't know how to put this diplomatically, but PCphoneline are one of those few companies which would appear to be somewhat abusive of the Wiki. I had to repeatedly remove their entries from categories that the listed product clearly did not belong to. Quite a few people ended up buying the wrong product. I know this because some folks contacted me for help when they couldn't configure the stuff they bought. My advice to anyone looking for fxo/fxs gateways would be this: Be *extremely* careful about products listed on the VoIP Gateway and ATA Wikis if the product listing sticks out with marketing language, something along the lines of ... "ONLY 59.99 ! Does everything - Works with everything - Needs no drivers and no software" If it sounds too good to be true, there is a high chance it probably is. USB devices for example will almost certainly require some software that is only available for Windoze and some softphone, it won't work directly with Asterisk. The only USB device that can be expected to work with Asterisk is the S100U from Digium and that was only ever intended for development and testing purposes, not recommended for real usage. rgds benjk -- Sunrise Telephone Systems, 9F Shibuya Daikyo Bldg., 1-13-5 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.
