Thanks Mark! Your side notes actually answer my question. There's no doubt about having PBX at medium or large sites, and therefore a need for a T1/E1 channalized gateway for voice/fax between the router and the PBX. I am just concerning if I could do the scenario you just described for a small oversea office of 4 or 5 sale people, where they don't have a PBX, but still able to use the IP phones to talk to HQ using the WAN (VoIP) and still able to talk to a regular analog phone with the FXO gateway attached to the router.
