Sipura - 3000 - cheapest?/alternative?

I am looking for VOIP hardware which supports 3 VOIP ports and 1 PSTN
port - just a basic homeoffice device. I guess Sipura 3000 will serve
my purpose.
Can someone point me to the cheapest source in the UK (or US) for the
device, I should be grateful.

Also, if there is an alternative device which will do what Sipura 3000
will do then please also suggest a link.

Thanks very much in advance.

Regards

Cheapest I've found for the SPA-3000 in the UK is
www.broadbandstuff.co.uk
they deliver quickly and they don't overcharge on the postage as some
do.
However, I often find that the Americans pay in $ what we pay in £.
The problem though is when you import you get VAT and import duty.
If you want to guard against the level of import duty you can contact
the customs people and they will agree a level of tax with you in
advance. That level will be binding on them and suitable documentation
will be produced to verify this. I haven't actually done this myself
but I have discussed it with customs. There are pages on the Net that
give tax levels for various items but finding something like an ATA
might be difficult - hence the possible need to contact them.

I think that an Asterisk set up will be best for your purposes - but
I'll leave the experts to comment on that.
Remove 'no_spam_' from email address.

thanks for your prompt response....The idea of contacting HM Customs is
a good one. I will do that.

The other option that has emerged is the Sipura 841. Which seems to do
all the above (provided you buy a 4 line license which only costs $30).
Looking at 3000 as well as 841 now.

Any experiences and comments will be gratefully received
