I thought it would be interesting to know what people here with VOIP use for their connection. What ATAs do folks use for their analog phones? Do you use a dedicated VOIP phone? What issues have people had which made life difficult with VOIP?

I currently use a Fritzbox 7490 as a DECT base station which connects to my Firebrick 2900, which finally connects to either Flextel or AAISP. I have BT handsets.
A long time ago I had a difficulty getting the BT handsets to work on the Fritzbox 7490 DECT base station, but with some experimentation of the settings I eventually found out what worked and what didn't.
I also use Flextel for the fact that it can generally mostly reveal what an incoming hidden/private number is (except the last three digits) as well as offer the option to block the actual number that Flextel saw in full. I also have a call screening system setup on it so that the caller has to press a number to get through to me.

I've had very good experience for many years with the Gigaset IP DECT phones - firstly the C475IP, and currently the N300IP.
The base station lets you register up to 6 VOIP accounts, as well as a single analogue line, and then you configure which lines your different handsets use for incoming/outgoing calls.

I've this week setup a Gigaset N300 IP system. Works nicely and very impressed with it. Not expensive for what it does.
I've also run Voip through a number of Draytek V model routers in recent years, and that works well. Sometimes took a bit of work to get the configs right.
Also I ran a number of Linksys ATA units, like the PAP2 series, for a few years. Again those worked well. Although getting the configs right took a lot of time, especially at first. Yes those were cheap.
