There is no reason you couldn't put voxalot on the 2nd line of a PAP2. However, with a PAP2 the lines really are tied pretty tightly to the individual jacks.

So no, you can't get away with using both lines of a PAP2 from a single handset (unless that is a 2-line phone/handset, and you plug it into both of the PAP2's jacks).

Now, one thing you could (in theory) do is to just connect to voxalot, and then setup sipgate as a provider in voxalot. Then your voxalot calls would go directly to voxalot, and your sipgate calls would first go to voxalot and then voxalot would forward them to sipgate.

NOTE: I don't know if sipgate allows SIP forwarding or not. If not, you would need to "register" sipgate with voxalot to get incoming calls (from sipgate), and that would require a paid voxalot account to accomplish (because only the paid voxalot accounts allow "registration" with other providers).

Of course, if you did your original plan of sipgate on one line and voxalot on the other, than that could be done with a free voxalot account. However, in that case, you are back to needing either a two line phone or two individual phones.

In theory that should be pretty simple to do. However, in practice it is more of a PITA to get the PSTN interconnect working with the SPA3102 than it should be (I should know, as I have that feature working on my SPA-3102).

And you have one serious issue that I didn't have to face, namely that the SPA-3102 generally ships (by default) with regional settings appropriate for interconnect with the electric phone (line) properties of US/Canada phone systems, NOT the UK phone system)! Now that doesn't mean you can't configure the device for UK phone systems (which is necessary, if you are going to follow through on your plan to connect to your UK pstn line, and may also be necessary just to use UK model phones with the thing), but you have to know exactly what you are doing to properly set the (advanced) regional settings first! And naturally there is virtually no official documentation on what settings are needed for which countries. So if you want to proceed, you pretty much will have to look for help in forums (I would recommend Linksys (Sipura) VoIP Support Forum as a good place to get some advanced help on this adapter) and/or google and hope you get lucky. Because without expert advance (and as much as I know about those adapters, configuring them for different country's phone systems is beyond even me), your plan to use your SPA-3102 with a UK phone line is probably dead in the water.

NOTE: If/when you do manage to get your SPA-3102 reliably working with your UK phone line (and the phone handset of your choice), than the extra effort to configure the dial plan for choosing between voxalot and your pstn line is reasonably easy (and something we can help with). But just getting it to work at all with your UK phone line could end up being a real challenge IMHO.
