Thanks Lyle, Sorry to sound so much like a newb but in asterisk I am. I was initially trying to do things by hand in the extensions.conf file and had no luck. I then got from SVN checkout asterisk-gui and used it to simply try and get things started, and created a trunk, users, incoming rule, etc. from the gui and finally got dial tone, and can dial out, but I haven't got the analog phone ringing yet. I will have more targeted questions in the near future. It is just hard to find "google" help for analog answers. Most deal with SIP (which is my next step once I have the analog lines working).

And an FXS port needs to be connected to the station equipment(ie. a physical phone). The TDM410 is basically a channel bank to Asterisk, so the channel type inside Asterisk is FXO to talk to the physical FXS card and FXS to talk to the physical FXO port.
