Voxalot shouldn't have a problem with it. However, some of your VoIP providers (used with Voxalot) may limit you to one call at a time.

Also, keep in mind that you pay the bandwidth costs for each call in progress. So be sure your broadband link has enough bandwidth to handle all those calls at the same time.

NOTE: With "web callback", you don't use any of your own bandwidth (that's handled with Voxalot's servers), unless one of the call links is your VoIP adapter (in which case you pay for the bandwidth to your VoIP adapter). OTOH one "down side" of web callback, is that you may have to pay for two calls, instead of one.

A single SPA-3000 only has support for one "phone". So the best you can do with an SPA-3000 by itself (assuming you have the bandwidth and the VoIP accounts to support it) is a "3-way" call (two calls "at the same time" merged together) + a VoIP<=>PSTN connection (for a total of 3 call paths max).

Of course, assuming you have the bandwidth and VoIP accounts for it, there is nothing preventing you from using more than one adapter on your LAN (for example, buying a 2nd SPA-3000 and setting it up as well). And as long as you are careful to setup the adapters so they don't "fight" for internet addressing, this will work. For example (while it isn't our current family configuration), my family has (in the past) used both my SPA-3000 and my older SPA-2000 (for different phone calls) "at the same time" without problem. But I did have to be careful to adjust the two adapters so that they used different VoIP ports, and therefore didn't get confused as to which voice stream was connected with which adapter...

And while the SPA-3000 can do "dial in and back out" tricks as well (assuming you have enough bandwidth to support it), the SPA-3000 is also limited to one channel/call at a time with such advanced tricks.

If you really need a number of advanced phone lines at the same time, I suggest you look into a full IP-PBX package. For example, many people are happy with http://www.asterisk.org for an IP-PBX. Just keep in mind that while an IP-PBX may be able to easily handle multiple calls "at once", you still may be limited by your total bandwidth as well as any rules your VoIP providers may impose upon you.
