Does anyone know of an ATA that explicitly supports multiple devices
on existing home wiring?
I have 5 phones, 1 answering machine, 1 computer modem and one caller
ID box on my telco quad "backbone." I'm looking for an ATA that I can
just connect to a jack on the backbone after disconnecting from the
POTS.
None of the vendor lit I've seen supports this. They all want you to
connect your phone(s) directly to the adapter with RJ-11 patch cables!
Some of the VoIP carriers seem to wink at existing wiring setups as
long as you don't have more than 3 - 5 phones connected. But they
make it clear there are no guarantees, so I guess the risk is on the
customer.
Thanks.
