I did some great stuff with this technology but I had to go through 2 or =
3 sip devices before I found one that worked the way I wanted to, so =
make sure you're prepared to experiment.   I'd link you some of the =
stuff I liked but it's all off the market now.   Let me know how things =
have changed, hopefully for the better.
