[VoIP] Decadic Savvy ATAs

[Jack Ryan]

I am sure there is nothing wrong with it at all but I would like a
representative part of my collection to be operating - say 5 to 10 phones.
This makes a single port ATA quite expensive but if that's all there is I
will just have a small operating display.

Thanks for your input Shane.

Regards

Jack
