Need a ATA with 2 phone jack

Post by ale1668 »

I need a ATA box with 2 phone jacks, any suggestions :?: ?

I currently have the one that FPL sales, but I need 2 lines. I know I could buy another one but am running out of router ports :shock: so
it would be easier to have 1 ATA with 2 lines.

Well, then you can buy Linksys ATA box. However FPL won't give you any support cause it's not their box. You can find the setup instruction in Device Sharing section. Linksys ATA box with two phone lines

ok, great, I will check that model. To config it, FPL will sell me a config file for that model to work. Other than that, does it need more configuration to work with FPL service?

The "config file" is nothing more than a username and password that allows you to connect with your own devices rather than just the FPL softphone. To set up a Linksys PAP2T see this thread http://forum.freephoneline.ca/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=310

Whatever model you choose is should be able to be set up to work with FPL. Just look out for one that have two lines on it. Personally I have a PAP2T also.

FPL used to sell this model before they changed to the current one.
