Can I use OBi202 which doesn’t have the LINE port with the NetTalk DUO? It has 2 phone ports instead. Am I out of luck here?

[WM: S.O.L. Sorry.]

Why not just use the Nettalk SIP credentials directly on Asterisk without the dongles and the ATA (like many of us have done for years)?

I just got the confidence from this to connect my existing NetTalk adapter with a Dahdi/FXO card. These go for about $32 on ebay from China. Seems to be working well.

Thanks

So, theoretically, this is also possible to do with a MagicJack device. Can you confirm?

[WM: Should work fine, but we have not yet tested it.]

Why can’t the OBI guys work with netTALK?
I see many synergies between them. The OBI guys must be interested now they see someone can actually charge something with Google Voice (going) out of the way. Then WE don’t have to buy a new netTALK ATA…

[WM: The OBi folks are aware of the article. Let’s leave it at that.]

I read this lengthy and informative article and am a bit puzzled: why do I need the OBi110 device? Can’t I just simply use the netTALK device and have the phone service?

I feel lost…

[WM: You absolutely can use netTALK by itself if you don’t want to interconnect netTALK with an Asterisk PBX. Just plug in a phone or cordless phone set and you’re off to the races.]
