If any1 could help me lettin me know how could i process that it would be really helpfull.
That sort of a setup is possible, but a huge PITA to setup. You may very well wonder if it is "worth it", by the time you are done with the setup!!!

However, if you are determined, here is what you need to, to even make it possible with an SPA-3000:

1) Point your IPKall number to the VoIP provider on the PSTN side of the SPA-3000. And this should not be the same VoIP account you have on the "Line 1" side of the SPA-3000 (i.e. use a different account, or better yet a different VoIP company). For example, you could sign up with FWD ( http://www.freeworlddialup.com/ ), put FWD on the PSTN side of the SPA-3000 (with your IPKall number pointed to FWD).

2) Wire up the "Line" jack, the "Phone" jack, and your real phones all togeather via phone patch cords (and no, this won't work, if you want to hook up a real telco line to the SPA-3000).

3) Setup the VoIP=>PSTN features of the SPA-3000, including the needed "dial plan", the PIN code, etc.

4) If (and only if) you have all of these things setup properly, than you should (in theory) be able to let someone call into the IPKall number, and call out via your "Line 1" VoIP provider(s). The actual call path goes something like this:

4A) VoIP call comes in on PSTN VoIP provider.

4B) SPA-3000 answers the call, and asks for the PIN.

4C) Assuming that the PIN is correct, the SPA-3000 will try to take the PSTN "phone line" off hook.

4D) Assuming that nobody is currently using phone at your place, this will succeed, and actually act as if you picked up your "phone" at home (because the two sides of the SPA-3000 are now physicially wired togeather).

4E) This should allow the remote user to dial out using your "Line 1" VoIP providers, provided both the "Line 1" and the "VoIP=PSTN" "dial plans" allow the digits dialed.

NOTE:
Yes, this is a huge "kludge". But that really is what is required to allow an SPA-3000 to do VoIP=>VoIP bridging, without additional hardware (such as an IP-PBX) in the mix...
