asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Looking for FXS device - CISCO ATA 186

I was looking for something to connect a couple of POTS handsets to my
asterisk server and found this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=162&item=5162868118
&rd=1

The documentation says that it does SIP - therefore will it work in an
asterisk environment.

Yes, the ATA186 _will_ do SIP, but it may not with the firmware that's 
on it. (No, I didn't look, and couldn't tell you yea/nay if I did.)

You have to get a license from CISCO for the SIP firmware. Depending on 
what country you're in, and the alignment of the stars, that can be a 
quick and painless, or an insurmountable task.

Mike:

  The ATA will do SIP although I cannot say if this ATA will do
SIP out-of-the-box.
