So with the best codecs (which codecs should I use?) for VoIP -> POTS
what should I expect?

Also, why would I want say a SPA3102 rather than a PAP2T?

My last vestige of "hands off religion" respect disappeared in the
smoke and choking dust of September 11th 2001, followed by the
"National Day of Prayer," when prelates and pastors did their
tremulous Martin Luther King impersonations and urged people of
mutually incompatible faiths to hold hands, united in homage to the
very force that caused the problem in the first place.
