It all works in that I can place calls in both directions from the office Samsung extensions and Asterisk SIP extensions. The only tricky bit was getting the FXO to detect hang-up from the Samsung correctly - a tweak on the Samsung config to make it hang up properly fixed this.

The caller ID is coming through as 'asterisk' which I assume is the default if nothing is present. So does anyone have any idea on how to get caller ID info passed over from the incoming calls on the FXO lines? Or even how to find out if the caller ID info is being sent by the Samsung?

Assuming the Samsung is using the standard US method, a butt set across 
the output of one of the lines in monitor mode should allow you to hear 
the FSK tones between the first and second ring.
Or a cheap CallerID box should display as well.

Also assume you have the Asterisk end set to wait for the signal. there 
should be a one ring delay in the response from Asterisk as it waits for 
the FSK signal.
