| FXS gateways are used to convert standard analogue telephones into VoIP
phones. Some gateways can also support pre-paid calling card applications through DUAL
Talk. In this mode, a caller is prompted for a card number and PIN. You are
able to generate rechargeable calling cards through DUAL Talk's reseller programme.
The following sections show our detailed observations for variously scaled solutions:

We recommend the Sipura SPA-1001. This is a single port SIP
compliant gateway.Quality
This gateway provides good voice quality through the use of the G.729 codec.
FAX
Limited fax is supported through the G.711 codec, but has a very high bandwidth
requirement of 80 kbps when used for fax. The gateway can be configured to use this
higher bandwidth codec for all calls, or on a per-call basis using a dial prefix.
Calling card
This gateway does not support DUAL Talk calling cards.
Configuration
We may, at our discretion, remotely configure this gateway for operation on DUAL Talk.
Before we can do this, you will need to have connected the gateway to your network
and to have performed any necessary port forwarding on your router so that we can reach
the gateway's configuration web page. Configuration guidelines are also available online.
Price
We do not supply this gateway. It is available from a number of sources, and you
can expect to pay approximately USD 100.

We recommend the Quintum AFG200. This is a two port H.323 compliant
gateway.Quality
This gateway provides good voice quality through the use of the G.729 codec.
FAX
Full fax support is provided through the T.38 protocol.
Calling card
This gateway supports rechargeable pre-paid calling cards in conjunction with the DUAL Talk reseller programme. It includes
local voice prompts and RADIUS support for authentication of callers against our customer
database.
Configuration
If we supply this gateway, then we will pre-configure it for use with DUAL Talk before
we dispatch it to you. If you purchase a Quintum gateway from another supplier, you
will need to make your own arrangements for its configuration.

We recommend the Sipura SPA-2000. This is a 2 port SIP compliant
gateway.Quality
This gateway suffers from the same limitation as the Cisco ATA-186. That is, it
only has one G.729 resource available. If you plan on using both ports, then you
will need to disable the G.729 codec, in which case, calls will be made using the G.723.1
codec. Although reasonable, call quality is slightly degraded when using the G.723.1
codec compared with the G.729 codec.
FAX
Limited fax is supported through the G.711 codec, but has a very high bandwidth
requirement of 80 kbps when used for fax. The gateway can be configured to use this
higher bandwidth codec for all calls, or on a per-call basis using a dial prefix.
Calling card
This gateway does not support DUAL Talk calling cards.
