Actually, my experience has been that small format FXO adapters (PCI card or external sIP device) are a huge waste of time. For me they have not yielded satisfactory results. Thus I have moved to a wholly IP based arrangement where I call forward my POTS lines to DIDs provided by an ITSP. This has been a much better solution than the SPA-3000, X101p or TDM-400. when I adopted this approach I went from a VIA system to a Soekris board.
FWIW, I have not used the Sangoma card...which sounds promising.
