We target Sipura because they are relatively a small company, the core developers at Sipura used to work for Cisco and worked on their ATA product before they started their own company. A small company is much more likely to try something new with little lead-time. Also access to decision-makers is much easier at a company like Sipura, I talked to one of the developers about a year and a half ago when they were going to market with the SPA-2000 and at that time they seemed willing to try lots of new things. I even mentioned Asterisk and IAX to them but they had never heard of it.
I'm sure if they get a list of hundreds of people who would buy an IAX adapter that they would at least do a test release of IAX2 firmware.

Why target sipura? What happened to snom who at one stage had a IAX (version 1) firmware? Why not target polycom/cisco, or any of the other 100 manufacturers/resellers/re-badging companies??
