A SIP ATA with an FXO port? (e.g. the Sipura 3000)

Sipura SPA-3000 will give you 1 fxs and 1 fxo so you can connect to a
POTS line AND a analog phone at the same time with one small box.

Makes a great demo system.

The Grandstream ATA (480 I think...) does this and usually costs less
than the Sipura. It has 1 FXS and 1 FXO.

Look at Xorcom's USB channel Bank.

If Xorcom could offer something similar with 2-4 FXOs I'd just have to
buy at least one. Heck of an idea for a product, a quad FXO adapter
interfaced to Asterisk via local USB port. Wow!

and both the sipura and grandstream have very poor echo cancellation.
not exactly the thing you want to be showing off to prospective customers.

Do people not use the Grandstream ATA's because they are cheap or
because there is actually a problem with them? 

They have a 2 line version for around $50 that I have used in various
locations. I have about 8 or so. They seem to do an excellent job.

Not a chance, they sell SPA3000's by the truckload. If you only need one
line, then go with the SPA3000, if you need more, I would go with the
Mediatrix 1204.
