I just purchased the Linksys Phone Adapter with 2 Ports for Voice-over-IP.
I intend to try it with the Vonage service, but I'd like to use it with my own Asterisk PBX as well.
I assume that this is not a Vonage-specific product.
Has anybody out there tried it? Any comments?
The manual is geared towards very naive users, and it doesn't tell me how to access the phone from a SIP server (usern...@host.domain?), how to register, etc.

You assume wrong. The box you bought is almost always sold at an artifically low price, to be made up from the monthly fee you pay whatever VoIP provider subsidized it, usually Vonage. It's similar to the $30 cell phone that would cost $200 without a contract for a year's cell service.
If you want to use Vonage for outside calls from Asterisk, I gather that it's not hard to reverse engineer the second line softphone that Vonage offers, but their hardware is rarely cracked.

Curious minds want to know, How did you get it to reset? is there a clear-all jumper on the motherboard?
My first guess would have been that one needed to make a j-tag adaptor and reset the predefined settings that way. I'll bet most items these days can be reset / programmed this way.

Usually with a reset button, accessed with a pencil tip or something. OR, if you do have the IP address and the pasword, there usually is a factory reset choice on the menus.

or type RESET on the phone keypad with the IVR menu.

Neither does PAP2 allow you to do a hardware reset through a hidden switch accessible to a pencil nor allow you to punch in FACTRESET from your telephone pluged into it.
This is how I did a reset on my PAP2: I opened the box to find a two pin jumper for three pins available on the board. I kept the device ON, (I used NONSTATIC gloves) pluged off the jumper from the second and the third pins and connected it to the first and second pins. Then I punched in "****" and "FACTRESET" and then "1" on the telephone connected to the PAP2. It announced that it did RESET successfully. I then switched of the PAP2 and reverted the jumper back to its second and third pin position and closed the box. I had the PAP2 unlocked!

Thanks! I saw a bunch of jumpers on in SPA-3000 and wondered what they did. Its nice to know that if I ever lock myself out I can clear things again.

The board is multilayered you would not see the middle layers. U34 apears to be a jumper location without the header. I believe the person who posted this was already on the service also. Without a dial tone it may be difficult to produce the same results. Any ideas? Anyone...
It looks like no jumer is really needed any longer. If you simply pick up the line and wait thru all of the prompts and then the anoying busy tones, at the end the busy tone will get louder for a few tones and then silence. Now dial **** after which you will here "Configuration Menu, bla bla bla" now dial 73738#. This is were I am it asks for a password? I have tried the serial # the MAC and a variety of other guesses. I am thinking about hooking up my laptop and writing a little app. Anyone have any insight on this password. It's not "ADMIN" either.

I believe that someone is having you on.
The only way to "unlock" a PAP2 is to connect it to a network where you control the DNS service, and trick the adapter into downloading a hacked version of the configuration file, and then upgrading the firmware so it doesn't keep trying to "phone home" for the locked-in configuration when you place it on the live network.
No, I do NOT know how to do this, so please don't ask. If you want an unlocked PAP2, buy a Sipura 2000. It is functionally identical to the Linksys and isn't locked into Vonage, or whoever.

We assume you mena the unlocked PAP2-NA model...
Nope. Not from a reputable retailer, anyway. Under the Linksys terms, the PAP2-NA can NOT be sold at retail, as is. It must be sold configured to, and in conjunction with, the seller's VOIP service.
