The Grandstream HT-286, and the Sipura SPA-2000 are both ATA FXS based devices. ATA == Analog Telephone Adapter FXS == Foreign eXchange Station (if memory is correct). FXS devices are designed to have telephones plugged into them. Basicly things that need a ringer voltage/signal get plugged into a FXS device. You DONT plug a FSX device into the telco PSTN line. I've taken FSX/ATA devices and plugged them into PBX's. Take the PSTN lines and plugged those into FXO cards that are inside a Asterisk box. Using the Asterisk box as front end processor of calls. If the FXO lines have DID you can then do interesting routing tricks. In one application we took multiple lines feeding multiple gas stations and pulled them back via IP to a single location in the city. By collapsing the remote line counts it became cost affective to get a PRI for all the voice traffic. Hope this helps. John Brown Chagres Technologies, Inc (Americas) Chagres Technologies, B.V.
