Unless you are willing to put telephones in parallel, like you do when
connecting multiple telephones to a single PSTN line without a PBX...

The big problems there are that:
- you won't be able to call between telephones on the same 'line'
- all telephones on the same 'line' can eavesdrop on an already existing
conversation on that 'line'
- you may exceed the connection rate (power use) on the FXS and blow it up...

Good luck!
