I have had a sipgate number for several years. It was once used or
producing emails from incoming calls. It is still working OK, I just
tested it.

Due to SWMBO hogging the phone for hours at a time I need to use this
Sipgate number to allow incoming calls to this Sipgate number to ring
a second analogue phone connected to an ATA (no BT line will be
connected to this second phone).

Would anyone care to recommend a reliable ATA for a reasonable price,
and easy / simple to configure. The ATA is to be connected to a LAN
port of a Netgear DG834G.

Thanks.

Obi 100 - in regular use for over a year, and it hasn't failed me yet

Years ago the PAP2 used to do this job, and there were plenty floating
around. I picked one up at a car boot for a few quid. There appear to be a
number on ebay currently.

On the subject, is there a more recent ATA at a decent price with the
functionality of an SPA3102 - ie supports multiple SIP providers selected by
dialplan?

The SPA3102 is still current kit and very good - I bought one recently to
'fill a gap'. About £50 from Amazon. The SPA112 is only £40, also current
- that is all you need - the SPA3102 is overkill as you don't need the
FXS port. Actually, the SPA112 has *two" FXO ports so you could have
another VoIP number and have calls to that too.

I like this kit - I also have an old SPA200, and the rather hefty SPA8000
(still current too).

One other option I might try is uelastix on a Raspberry Pi: I already have a
PAP2, I already have a Pi, and it might be more flexible than an SPA3102 yet
less painful than writing raw Asterisk.

Linksys PAP2 from various Hong Kong Ebay sellers, for about £15
shipped.

The PAP2 has 2 FXS ports and can be considered as two independent ATAs
in one box.

I reversed FXS/FXO there...sorry.

I ordered two of these, from two different HK sellers. Both kept me
hanging on until PayPal's refund deadline had passed, and disappeared. I
never got goods or refund from either of them.

What does the Pi gain you? The PAP2T does all that was asked for.

Try Googling analogue telephone adapter and you will get loads.
In addition to the PAP2 (don't forget Linksys is now owned by
Cisco) Grandstream have always been good products in this field
as have Sipura (which are now part of Linksys.) Also look at
products by Zoom and Zyxel which again have always had a good
reputation in the past. Linksys products with type numbers
starting SPA are ex Sipura and from my experience are easier to
set up than the PAPT2.

Have you considered a voip phone? Yealink are, I am informed, a
good product in addition to the regular Siemens Gigaset products.

Have a look at www.internetvoipphone.co.uk or www.voipon.co.uk as
a start. You have the advantage of being a Sipgate user which
gives you access to their support pages where you will find
complete setup configs for using many products in the UK -
getting the ringing cadence and dial/engaged(etc) tones correct
for a start.

Many of the ATAs have a built-in server so can sit between the
modem and a PC, but any will work equally well on a router
output. You may however on some routers (I don't think it applies
on yours) have to forward some ports or port ranges to make sure
that comms can take place as needed.
