On a related note - I cleaned out my box and have a Cisco 7911 IP phone - I've popped this next to the other one/cisco switch.

I haven't played with a proper PBX in a long time so they were always going to get confused. So we need an FXO port then and FXS is provided by SIP ATAs when we get to that.

Hi Tony, It's an IBM Intellistation A, type 6217 (according to wikipedia). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_IntelliStation#IntelliStation_A_Pro I'm not sure of the exact processor model, but I'll fire it up this evening and investigate.
