Right, I know that :-) But in the Asterisk world, devices (and 
connections use to service devices) are named the opposite way... a port 
used to connect to an analog line from the PSTN is called an FXO port 
(like the X100P is called), even though it uses FXS signalling to 
connect to what is traditionally called an FXO line in the telco world.

So, given that, it's likely that the GR-303 support that is in CVS HEAD 
is using FXO to refer to the signalling method, not the device/channel 
type. If that's the case, then it definitely is intended to allow 
Asterisk to drive GR-303 access devices, nor for Asterisk itself to be 
used as an access device. The latter is what interests me, although I 
can see how those who are using Asterisk to provide service to large 
numbers of analog phones would be excited by being able to have fewer 
T-1 ports on their Asterisk box than (# of phones)/24.
