What is the status on stations?  The PCI/FXS interfaces are still pretty
expensive, and it is hard to tell about the myriad ethernet handsets 
for sale. Does anyone review or evaluate handsets?

How do things like the "Sipura SPA-1000 VOIP Adapter, SIP, 
Asterisk,phone" work?
Since there are scads of those for sale on e-bay very cheap.  Does anyone
review or evaluate handsets?
