I’m currently looking to replace the copper landline in a holiday house with a basic ATA on 2Talk or similar. I have an SPA112 at home which works well, but see that the unit is now EOL and is out of stock in many places. Any recommendation for a current equivalent? The most similar unit I’ve been able to find is the Grandstream HT801. The main requirement is reliability, and there isn’t any need for anything other than basic features.

The house has an Internet connection via a WISP.

If you add a post in Offers and Wanted for a SPA112 or SPA122 I'm sure somebody will have one kicking around.

 

I've used the Grandstream unit in the past for my parents and it worked very well. Is USB powered too. The only problem with it is you'll have to manually configure it.

The grandstream is a good solid unit.

Thanks all for the quick responses (and offer). I think I'll just grab an HT801 - no issue with having to manually configure it. I actually had to do the same on the SPA112 as well, after the auto config seemed to cause some calls not to come through. It's been rock solid since manually configuring it. Perhaps just user error...
