! 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.
