I've not used it but if it's anything like their ATA's you won't have a
problem, Sipura is well built kit. It will handle up to 4 independent SIP
accounts too, which is a plus point.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks for reply Ivor.

Because of the price hikes on these items *ONLY*,
I decided to buy a PAP2 that has two phone lines,
and dual handset DECT phones, and still
have a spare line to hand for other uses, and still
spend less money in total!!!!

Otherwise I would have bought WiFI ones because I already
have WiFI, but they are even more expensive.

Good phone. Nice display that has two lines so can show names as well as
numbers (big improvement over the Grandstream I had previously). Web
interface is easy to use (even if there are too many options). Sound
quality is good via the handset although the speaker isn't all that great.

Don't try and use the screen in dim light, it has no backlight. I had to
hack my own in, using blue tack and some white LEDs. You'll probably want
to replace the cable for the handset, as it is of the lowest quality. Web
interface is usable, and the firmware seems to updated on a fairly regular
basis, which is always a good sign. I like the build quality and the
plastics used. The sound quality is poor in the earlier firmware releases.
