I'm using it with 2 IP phones (both Grandstream BT102) and an analogue
adapter (Grandstream ATA486) with a "normal" handset connected.
Each of the
phones is configured for a different Sipgate account/number. I've also used
a softphone (X-Lite), but found the sound quality a little disappointing -
could easily be my setup rather than the software.

Configuring each phone and the firewall was a bit fiddly to get each using
a
different IP port, but not too bad. I still need to sort out one minor
problem, I can only use one phone at any time - mostly probably a config
issue, just need to spend a few minutes working out where I went wrong.

Sipgate have recently introduced a voicemail service also, works fine,
emailing the message as a .wav file attachment.
