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

[James Ronald]

More then likely he used 4 conductor (two pair) cable and meant 2 lines 
(phone numbers) per cable.  They will need to be broke out to separate 
jacks.

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.
