Well I am using a Grandstream Handytone 486 which fairly cheap and
widely available. There are several variants:

And the manual is here

I don't know where you are geographically but www.sipgate.co.uk is one
place that stocks the ATA 486. I think some voip vendors set the
adaptors up for use only with their servers so check that out. I would
avoid them, but I imagine that you can reset to the factory default as
described in the manual and then set your own administrator password.

I would guess that most ATA's would be sufficiently programmable to work
with ekiga, but I only have experience with the 486. There are a various
 routers combined with ATAs on the market now that might be of interest.
They came out after I had selected the Handytone.

Hope that is some help. I think we are still just on topic..
