interesting....i wonder when they will come up with something like a hybrid of SPA2100 and SPA3000.... 2 ethernet ports, 1 FXS and 1FXO. =)

Doesn't Linksys have something like this already. 2 Port VOIP. The case even looks the same (from the box I saw at Fry's) different color. Is this just a rebrand?

Please call me when they annouce the SPA-4008. 4 FXO ports, 4 FXS ports, one RJ45. That will give Digium some help out there. Maybe infringes on the Cisco 1760 VoIP routers. Maybe I am thinking too far ahead.

Call me on my BroadVoice number. Just kidding. Let me give you my cell number.

The PAP2-NA is the functional equivalent of the SPA-2000, right down to a good chunk of the configuration interface. The PAP2 (without the -NA) that you saw at Fry's is the version of the PAP2 that is hard locked to Vonage. The reason they look so similar is that Linksys outsourced much of the firmware development to Sipura and Sipura ported their SPA-2000 firmware to fit the hardware complement of the PAP2.

As to the SPA-4008, which I would guess should more properly be called the SPA-12000 (4 x 3000), there are products on the market that can be had with as many as 24 mix-n-match ports. If you are serious about this product, let me know and I will dig back to find the information for you.

The new firmware for the 3000 sounds good. Hopefully they've done something about the false DTMF detection as well. Now they just need to hurry up and release it. tap tap tap....

When did they announce the 2002? I see it's now on their site and Voxilla has them for sale. Probably a much better device than a 2100 for most folks looking for two parallel RJ-11/FXS service. I wonder if they'll do a "SE" firmware to enable two services per line, like they did with the 1001.

Cheers,

I don't think Sipura "announced" the SPA-2002 per-se. We broke the news on it as far as I know (though I could be wrong).

I don't think there will be an SE firmware for the 2002: when Sipura announced the 1001 they stated at the point of release that it would be able to support two lines. There is no such mention of this for the 2002.

Also, the 2002 only supports one g729 call: whereas the 2100 supports two. I would have thought they'd build in the support for two calls..

I guess I missed any announcement of the 2002 whatsoever. I did post a question here someplace a while back when I saw the picture of the device on the Sipura website, but then nothing further on the website; lost track of it after then.

I bought the 2100 instead of the 2000 [last December] as the "new" hardware with the additional power looked [to the untrained eye] as a better way to go. Never needed/used the router part.

The 2002/2100 comparison point above is a good one, thanks for pointing that out. Surprises me as well, as I was assuming that they would use the 1001/2100 as a basis for the new design on the 2002. Does that mean that the two-call handling of a 2100 is a better choice than a 2002 for * use?

I guess the 1001 remains the best choice for a starter for an individual, with no real VOIP benefit to going with a 2xxx. Wonder when the new 300x? will get released.

Thanks again,
- Don

For me it is a better choice, as I run my 2100 at a remote location with only 100k for the upstream. Two simultaneous g729 calls at roughly 30k/sec fit nicely through such a limited amount of bandwidth. If you're using the adaptor on the same network then the 2002 is the better choice - it cuts out the additional complexity of the router portion and the g729 limit is no longer an issue due to the increased bandwidth.

What I would like to see is the SPA-3000's ability to specify multiple outbound proxies / sip servers in the dial plan supported on the 2100/2002 - that would be great.
