ATA devices. Something like a Sipura SPA 3000 or two should do what you need. I think there are even some multiple FXO/FXS devices out there. I haven't got to the point of needing one (using Polycom and soft phones) so can't offer any _actual_ usage advise. I offer the Sipura SPA 3000 just because it was the first/best found with a search for "Asterisk ATA fxo" using Google. There are others and some are probably better/cheaper/k00l3r.
