Having several phones in parellel with an FXO line in * may be a problem
if you plan on making outgoing calls though this interface. If you will only be
dealing with incoming calls, I believe you would be fine. 

In * you should be able use a pickup group. 

I'm sure there are others who know more and can correct me on any
misinformation. Otherwise, I hope this heads you down the right road.
