http://www.internetphonewizard.com

best price at
http://www.pagecomputers.com/cgi-bin/page/M0160167.html
(40USD)

there is a PCI version too, which is cheaper.
It has echo cancelation and SIP support, using the same fixed/cordless

for both internet and PSTN calls

I will receive it in about 2 weeks (I hope)..:-)) .. then I'll be back with

Best regards,
Dan
