As per ManxPower at #asterisk, it is not possible to record a call 
dialed from an analog phone connected to the "Phone In" port of an X100P 
because the two ports on the card are hard-wired together.

I'm still looking for feedback on the recording scheme.  Right now I'm 
leaning towards using Sangoma A200s.  Any input from the community would 
be appreciated.
