[Asterisk-Users] Can One FXO Support Multiple Phone Lines?

[James Harper]

Definitely one line per FXO port, but the wording of the original poster
was two numbers, not two lines, and while it may not be universally
true, "distinctive ring" should allow two (or more) phone numbers to be
present on an FXO port, and asterisk should be able to tell which one is
calling.

If the original poster did mean lines and not numbers, maybe there was
some confusion about the difference between PSTN and ISDN.
