asterisk users - Mar 2005 - Look at that Digium Broadband Modem!

Or: "An IAXy by any other name is still an IAXy"

http://nextalarm.com/abn.jsp

These folks are selling alarm supervision for us phone-line impaired
folks.  What's scary about this is that we probably need to install a
fire/smoke detector with the IAXy ;-)

IAXy users on this list -- who of you would trust their home/business
security to an IAXy?  Is there a silent majority who loves this product,
or are the over-heating, looking-up issues reported as commonplace as
the frequency of the posts would indicate?

I don't have any IAXy's but do have Sipura SPA-2000's most of them
get
really hot (what is it with this equipment??).

That doesn't make the IAXy a lesser choice for me, other than that the 
price is quite high compared to other ATA's.

Any technical queries aside, I think this is a *very* cool application for 
the IAXy (or other ATAs).

The fact that they are constantly monitoring the device would give me 
sufficient reassurance that it's working. I would just be worried about 
the uptime of my DSL line and the influence of power outages which would 
kill my DSL modem, my switch and the IAXy.

I would not trust the above to voIP or the power line, regardless of equipment.

I do have an IAXy that has worked flawlessly since I got the correct
power supply several months ago.
