padboll is on a distinguished road
Default

IP Phones:
Siemens Gigaset C470IP & C450IP are nice. C450IP is slow when configuring through web interface (better with Opera or Chrome browsers) and is limited to one account. Both have a maximum sound level too low, but ok it works.
The Siemens A580IP seems nice too, but I never tested it. Probably the next I'll buy...

Modems:
SpeedTouch 706 and 716 are good devices, but not correctly documented and tricky.
FritzBox! seem very nice/good hardware and innovative.
Comtrend devices are simply pure sh*t... don't even lose time looking at them.

ATA:
Linksys PAP2T heats a lot (really too much), there is no correct support from them, firmwares are buggy. I won't buy any more product from them.
Zyxel could be good, but I had a very bad experience with my item (locked by LDLC), so I cannot tell. I just strongly recommend to avoid buying through LDLC.com (France)!!!
GrandStream seems to be the reference, but no luck to test them up to now... Probably soon for the "new" 502 or 503.

When choosing, check available codecs and consider only hardware with multi-accounts possibility. (Only one account is quickly too short.)

Good luck!
