Yes it does support a basic analog line (or many many lines...).  It also
supports T1's, ISDN, etc.  FXO would provide an analog connection to the phone 
company (your wall jack)
FXS would allow you to plug analog phones into Asterisk.

Phone <--->(FXS)<--->Asterisk<---->(FXO)<---->Phone Company

You could eliminate the FXS need if you run SIP or IAX IP handsets.  Then they 
would just connect to 
your network.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Im a noob


Im completly new to the whole PBX thing. I have a toshiba unit now and we're 
moving our office in the next few months. I want to use asterisk but would like 
to test it out first. Does it support a basic analog phone line like the one in 
my house? Is that FXS? Are there any FAQs I should read to learn more? Thanks 
for the reply!
