Depending on the reliability needed (is this a way to talk to a
girlfriend in another country or a mission-critical business use?) I'd
say it's better to pay a small monthly fee to someone like OnSIP.com
and use their centrex.

If it's because you have the phone lines already installed and need to
just use them at certain times, I do think there are FXO devices but
I'm not sure they will help. You wouldn't need two asterisk servers at
any rate but only one. The phones connect (through a router if need
be) to the asterisk at the phone lines + FXO end.
