Any opinions on the best ATA?
For example, if someone was having a problem and I wanted to rule out
any ATA glitches or firmware issues, what device could I give them that
I could count on to always be a trouble free top performer that just
plain works? |

The newer linksys ata's have been pretty consistent for me. But then
again, ata's are fairly reliable.

Tin cans and string. Very easy to set up. Very easy to diagnose if it
does not work (check for tear in brown paper diaphragm or string not tight).
All other devices are subject to failure and counting on anything to
just work is a short path to frustration and failure.

In all seriousness, my requirements were a little silly. A Cisco router
can fail just as a netgear router can. But I think we would find Cisco
failures to be statistically less likely.
I also think we can agree that not all devices of a certain type are
created equal. Do you have any opinions on which VoIP products are more
likely to be consistent and reliable?

Of the three ATAs I've got (Linksys PAP2-NA, Sipura SPA-2000 and
SPA-3000) the Linksys PAP2-NA is the best of the bunch, even though the
SPA-2000 is supposedly cut from the same mould.
For the most part, you set 'em and forget 'em. Most of the time when I
have a problem with a phone connected to the PAP2, I discover that the
phone itself has locked up. The company I work for also sells them -
though I've had my PAP2 for a lot longer than I've worked there.

Realistically, I've had issues with every ATA I've used to SOME degree.
The Leadtek BVA series has numerous issues. I've had bizarre things
occur in all of my Linksys/Sipura adapters(2000,3000,3201) (issues with
timeouts on a lost connection, NAT traversal, etc). My Grandstream
HT486 and 488s have intermittent dialing failures. I've had a lot of
issues with the Audiocodes MPs.
The only ATA I've NOT actually had any issues with has been my
Grandstream HT386. Granted, I have issues with its capabilities overall,
but on the whole, it's the only one that's not simply had some weird
random failure as the others have.
Does this mean I'd recommend an HT386 as solid testing piece? Heavens
no. I'd probably recommend the Linksys SPA3102. But be aware that there
ARE issues with just about all of them, and I doubt there have even been
enough variants sold/used by everyone to merit statistical analyses.
What you're going to get for recommendations will be, at best, anecdotal.

I have two SPA3102s, and two PAP2-NAs. All of them have worked
flawlessly. I have my SPA3102s on a real IP, and have tested the
PAP2's from real IPs and behind nat. They do seem to "just work" after
being configured. My only complaint is with Linksys/Cisco's support,
or lack of it.

Any Linksys ATA is best value for money. I have used SPA AND PAP 2 series.
I have also CISCO ATA in office and still no problems for almost 2 years.
