Hi Stuart, thanks for the reply and I wanted to know with ATA adapters how do you aquire sip registration and keep it registered, with using ATA adapter, would I have to then run my own asterisk/pbx setup, as my current setup that I use on my cell phone is, just using a sip soft phone then putting in my sip address to be registered and it registers and is constantly being registered in background on my cell phone that way i can receive calls and place calls through my sip soft phone app on my cell phone, if the ATA adapter is the same thing without me having to use a computer to keep it running it would be perfect. To be able to change my home phones which are all plain old telephone systems provided by a phone company into a voip phone network would be easy as i would just need an ATA adapter or 2 and then have them connected to my router and then i would be able to receive calls; or is it not that easy?
