Hi everyone, I know someone makes a product that's a POTS phone to SIP converter, where you just plug your POTS phone in one side and the network cable in the other. Has anyone successfully used any of these with Asterisk, and if so how expensive were they? I ask partly out of frustration with the FXS cards but mostly because it would make installation MUCH easier for what we're doing, plus it would be another piece of hardware that we could re-sell, plus it would free up some slots in the server, which is valuable real estate. Comments? TIA - Matt
