I was given 2 Cisco Analog Telephone Adapters. There are both model 186/188. I'm wondering what I can use them for, & if they use SIP? I'll either be using them in a simple setup here at home, or I'll donate them to Free Geek Seattle for their phone system. I am one of the main people starting Free Geek Seattle.
