We've used the GXW4108 for some time now internally to connect SIP trunks to
our Nortel PBX and its worked very well for that. We also have it deployed at a
few other customer sites for trials. The 502/503's are definitely much better
than the 286's we have them (the 50X) widely deployed for our
residential/single line customers.

Curious? Anyone ever use a Grandstream 8-port ATA (GXW4108)?
The HT-286 has been horrible, the HT-502/503 have worked surprisingly well
actually for us?

I second the TA 908 ? They do work well.
SPA 8000 is OK if you are using t.38. One thing to bear in mind, the SPA only
supports one t.38 session per pair of ports. Also, per the documentation, the
Adtran TA series only supports 4 concurrent t.38 sessions regardless of the
model.
I have also used Innomedia?s 8 port IAD successfully and they apparently
support t.38 sessions up to the full port density.

Adtran TA 908 ?? Probably overkill but it works and works well

This exact question came up a couple months back on another list I'm subscribed
to, and this is what I wrote then; I'm still curious to hear about people's
experiences with this box...
One cool product I ran into recently is the Atcom IP08, which is based off of
the work done by David Rowe and Co. and his Open Telephony Hardware initiative
(http://www.rowetel.com/blog/?page_id=440). It's an embedded system that can
take analog port modules for up to 8 ports of either FXS or FXO (or a mix) and
runs Asterisk. I haven't ever used one and I've been eager to hear of other
people's experiences with it.
The only U.S. distributor for it that I've been able to find is
http://www.staronetel.com/reseller/store.html -- and with the box itself priced
at $320 and each 2-port FXS card going for $50, you're looking at paying
roughly twice for this what you would for an SPA8000. The advantage, of
course, is the flexibility (completely open design, can mix-and-match FXS and
FXO ports, runs Linux, runs Asterisk, etc.), but depending on your needs that
may not be worth it to you.
The other question you have to ask yourself is if you even need to break out
the voice lines to analog FXS. You've probably already asked yourself this and
have a good reason for doing so -- maybe the customer has an old PBX or key
system that can only take analog trunks, or maybe it's a multitenant building
and you want to break out a single telephone port per dwelling unit. But I've
run into other providers who seemingly do it for every multi-line installation
they do (it's just their modus operandi), and I have to ask: why? I've seen
set-ups where the voice traffic is delivered via IP to a box like the SPA8000,
broken out into multiple FXS, and then those are all taken into a Cisco ISR
with a multi-FXO line card in it and the calls are eventually delivered to IP
handsets. This just seems like insanity to me. Going from digital to analog
only to go back to digital again is pointless. Just keep it IP end-to-end and
be done with it.
