An ATA is sensible way to go. One with an FXO gives you best of both worlds. A phone handset is a familiar and usable instrument. What could be easier than punching a number in or picking up to answer a call. Why be tied to a computer (which most people have closed down for the best part of a day, making them inaccessible)) with a head set on? That's call-centre technology. ATAs may be standards compliant but they are not exactly open. Given that, they can be far more convenient to use in a static situation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
