[Asterisk-Users] FAQ...FXS...LAN...FXO

[Bill Jennings]

I _really_ like this explanation and diagram.  Also, someone said that
one line can have multiple FXO's but only one FXS.  That's what made the
light bulb go on for me.  Like saying only one stereo per speaker wire,
but multiple speakers.

Could this be added to the Asterisk Manual?
