pcphoneline.com sells a little box with two RJ-11 jacks that is supposed to convert an FXS port into an FXO port. According to their blurb, when a call comes in it basically conferences the two lines together. Is anyone out there using this box with Asterisk? Any problems? What happens to callerid when you get an incoming call? I'm thinking about using one of these things with the Grandstream ATA-286 for a spot where I may not have a PC available to put a Digium FXO card into. (Don't have Ethernet where the PSTN jack is, so the easiest thing to do is WiFi it. Seems a shame to dedicate a whole PC to just a single FXO port ...) -T.i.A., Jim
Yeah, I just found a "Port Convertor" listed on www.voxilla.com's online store. I, like many, have been struggling with the lack of affordable small, standalone FXO gateways. Perhaps these and a Sipura SPA-2000 would be a solution. Does anyone here know anything specific about FXS > FXO port conversion?
