Hey Sacha,

If your staying within your LAN you could get a Sipura2002 it uses SIP but has 2 FXS ports and is easy to set up. I've been using them and they work fine. The only exception is if you want to use both FXS and connect to * server through a NAT router, it just doesn't work reliably. We found this out the hardway with much hair pulling. It explained to me why Vonage won't activate the second FXS port on thier boxes, they'll ship you a second one instead, cause they can't get it to work reliably either.

I bought my 2002's from www.voipdepot.ca for CA$89.99 each. Only thing to remember to do when you get it is to make sure you upgrade the firmware!

Been lurking a little while, good information here.

I have setup [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have an FXO interface to PSTN working fine - still have lots of experimenting with the dialplan. I have only been testing with a softphone and am now interested in adding a traditional phone extension or two. I have been looking for a cheap FXS interface to continue my testing as I am not interested in purchasing a VOIP phone. The cheapest (in Canada) solution I have been able to find is a Grandstream Handytone 386 (http://www.grandstream.com/y-ht386.htm) from http://voipware.ca for $109.99 + tax & shipping. I would prefer an IAX solution, but haven't found much (thats cheap). I don't mean to sound like a cheapskate, but this looks to be the most expensive part of my asterisk solution.

Anyone have any other suggestions for a cheap solution for two FXS ports?
