[VoIP] Decadic Savvy ATAs

[John Novack]

The Motorola 2 port ATA supports pulse dial as well
The Cisco 3810 also supports pulse dialing, with up to 6 ports

OpenWRT is in use by a couple of North American members, possibly more.
AstLinux on the HP thin client, and possibly more also works well
I have found AstLinux easier to set up and configure, and used it for a 
month or more to continue my CNET connection while rebuilding my 
Asterisk box
