In phone company lingo, your calls go to the central Office, and your
phones are called Stations.  so FXO goes to the Office and FXS goes to
the Station.

Both of these are Foreign to your asterisk box (not part of the box) and
you need to eXchange information (the phone call) with them.

So what you have is:
Foreign eXchange Office (FXO)
Foreign eXchange Station (FXS)
