Has anyone tried connecting an xlink too the CO connector on a Panasonic 308 or 616 system?

Yes, I did, see this post: http://www.classicrotaryphones.com/forum/index.php?topic=3328.msg44173#msg44173

It worked fine for what I wanted to do, use the rotary dials on my cell line when I had no POTS line.

Good to hear.  I imagine the quality and technology has improved in the last 9 years.

yes it has, at least the last 109 years :-)

I have to admit that the receiver is a little weak, and the transmitter had to be replaced, it was dead!

I have two of these units the xlink one bttn (with pstn port) and a siemens one branded unit. Since i am a linux user , i was wondering if anyone has windows 7 software as that us the only windows i have available and the one i get fro web now requires windows 8

For the past several months I have been using a bttn to drive a handful of WE rotary phones, with the landline port connected to an obi200 for my Google Voice number. So far it's working perfectly.

I have two xlinks if anyone is interested . One is NOS in box the other is used. Both are older models

I have played a little bit more with this, and connecting the X-link to a voip line via cellphone has not been easy, but problem solved:
If you have an old Smsung phone, it has voip setup in the original software, and that is the only one I know that lets the phone ring on the X-link.   The drawback is the missing dial plan setup.  The best app for that I have found is the GS-Wave, but that does not connect well enough to the X-link. No other apps I got does that eighter. So I had to try out something else, and I found an app made for Samsung, and got it downloaded and intalled on my phone, and it solved it all   The X-link may have 3 cellphones connected. If I use an old cellphone (that should have been recycled) without sim-card but with these apps I have a perfect adaper that accepts badly tuned dials, and has  an OK quality else.

The app did I download from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-we-voip/samsung-we-voip-4-8-1-0-release/?fbclid=IwAR3a5k0oAIEy6cK7fNArmxzxeU0oiSR0Bt2rQq8JQOdqbX0rNCDEOvoLIE8
This link takes you directly to the download page, but you have to start the download by yourselves.

I actually do not know how that app helped on the one-plus, but it did. It does not do anythin on an old Lenovo phone!

I sold my two units on eBay several months ago. Someone actually paid to ship one all the way to Europe. The other was purchased and shipped to USA . They were Okay to mess with but I prefer higher quality calling so I can truly judge the voice quality of a phone and VoIP does that better for me than a bluetooth to cel connection , with all of the problems of bluetooth and cell.
