Dear Martin et al,

I am very happy with the E61. I'm using it with Pbxes, and, so far, so good.
I really want to evolve to my own server and using an FXO to get my
landline connected. I can't just go for a voip phone number because I
use DSL and can't buy it separetely from the landline.

Now, what do you guys think about the Sipura 3000? I really would like
a cheap solution, as I'm already spending sometime to get a new
motherboard for my Cube so I can use it as my 24/7 server.

Cheers,

Francis
