I'm really happy with a Grandstream 2020, but I've also had luck with a
Handy-Tone 386 with two FXS ports; both devices support STUN but since
my FS is on the local network that hasn't been an issue.

Really? How can anyone be happy with those phones... they don't even make good paperweights. :P

It really doesn't get any more budget than a cheap FXS adapter like the
Handy-Tone series and an old phone, but they do have issues.
Voip-info.org has some good information on known issues.

My test for a good phone is take the handset and walk away from desk with it. If phone follows with very little effort its a crap phone. If it stays put for the most part its a good phone.
