Thanks, seems to be clear now :)

I Know i'll probably pass as stupid ;-)
According to your scheme, FXS card should be installed on PCs in order to
have an analog phone working with them and making them ring when called?

Does a Multiple FXS card exists in order to attach more than 1 analog phone
with a single card?
Just to have:

Phone============FXS[Asterisk]FXO===Phone Company
Phone2===========FXS   |
Phonennn=========FXS   |
IP-Phone=========LAN===|

ecc.
Right?
