[Ekiga-list] Will analog phone adapters work with Ekiga?

[Nathaniel Homier]

I see, googling shows some interesting devices.  So the ATA's I am
seeing have a web interface and that becomes the client.  So my
ekiga.net sip account can just be set up in the ATA device.  Ekiga
would simply be a software phone only, great for laptops.  Yeah I get
it now.

Thanks for your help Jure.

Nate.
