I have a Door King model 1812 working with *.  It is running on an X100P port with fxs_ks signalling.  It works very well.  The visitor pushes a button on the 1812 and the device comes off hook.  I have the `s` extension set to auto dial the attendant.  After the attendant decides to let them in, they press `9`.  This is configurable.

I actually have it running over an 802.11b link to the front gate entrance.

You could probably operate it successfully on an fxo port from a channel bank as well, that's what the installation manual actually referred to.
