! 				When a customer receives phone service from a central office other than the 
! 				one that would normally serve them, the line between the customer and the 
! 				"Foreign" office is called a "Foreign Exchange" line and FXS (Foreign eXchange Station) 
! 				is the station end. FXO (Foreign eXchange Office) is the office end of the line.  
! 				FXO is also used to refer to the type of interface on phone equipment. An FXO 
! 				interface receives power and ring signals.   An FXS interface provides power 
! 				and and ring signals.If you want to connect your phone line to your computer so 
! 				that it can make and answer calls, you need to add an FXO interface to your 
! 				computer.  If you want to connect an ordinary telephone to a computer, you 
! 				need a card in the computer with an FXS interface.
