Sure there is.

You can easily set up a pure VoIP box (is the easiest configuration of *)
and use for "internal" comm environment (obviously, until you don't put * in
condition to "talk" with the normal phone lines, you'll not be able to call
a non-VoIP client)

Fxo and Fxs are not strict requirements to have * work.

* can use FXO, FXS, PRI, and BRI lines, but is not mandatory to have them.

Just take a couple of SIP phones (also soft-phones), set up the sip.conf
properly, and you'll have a perfectly running * box for VoIP use.

If you take the fxs card, you wil be able to make a normal phone ring if
called from the VoIP phones, and call from the normal phone to the VoIP
phones.
