What's a good ATA adapter to use with Raspberry Pi?

I'd like install Asterisk on a Rasberry Pi, and hook it up to a PTSN line. From what I've read, I'll need an ATA adapter. Any recommendations for a good adapter, preferably from personal experience :) ?

Thanks for the response.

Yep, I don't need a professional ATA for this. From what I've read I was leaning towards either a Linksys or Obihai. Mind if I ask what you didn't like about the Linksys? Also, which type of Obi? I've saw several on amazon yesterday, but wasn't really sure about the differences. I assume they'd all get the job done, just +/- a few capabilities.

Gotcha. I missed the bit about the FXO/FXS ports when looking over all the different adapters.

Always amazes me no matter what the product, it'll work great for some people and be a total lemon for others ;-)

I'm probably going to try the OBi110. A friend is thinking of getting one too, so I can test drive it and let them know what I think.

Thanks for the explanations. I appreciate the help!
