That's very interesting, I had the exact opposite situation: I had problems with an X100P and then purchased a Sipura/Inksys 3000 and have had no problems ever since with echo, callerid, etc.
So with fxo/fxs gear (like s much technology) YMMV.

Although the SPA-3102 will allow you to connect to your pstn I've found that it isn't all that good of a unit. I have the earlier model, the 3000, and constantly had to battle with echo. Now that I have a X100P FXO card the echo is all gone. Consider getting an internal FXS/FXO card. They can be had for just a little more than what you would pay for the 3102 but in my opinion you will not regret it. As for calling both the cell and home phone, yes very simple, but will require you to have another trunk besides your pstn to send the outgoing call over.
