I have an ATA setup for Voicestick, mostly for outbound LD faxing. While
VoIP and fax generally don't mix, VS uses a pretty wide bandwidth codec and
faxing works well (for VoIP anyway!)

Voicestick didn't have any at first, either! ;-)

They probably feel it's unnecessary given the supposed niche of the
service. It's designed to be a bridge for a single phone (you have to
register the number for the bridge to work)- not as a OneSuite-like pinless
calling card. I assume that they expect you to store memory numbers in the
cellphone memory. The beauty of OneSuite's speed dial is that you're
allowed, and expected, to use it from any phone, so your phone's memory
might not be with you.

True.
