so far as I know, this will not work. Cisco's IP phones are ethernet devices, and must connect to a switch port. Well, you could use a hub if you're looking for trouble. ;->
IP phones are more akin to PC's, servers, etc, and you can't plug a PC into either an FXO or FXS port either. at least not and get it to do anything useful. FXS and FXO are for telco connections only. FXS for analogue phone or fax. FXO for connection to PBX or telco CO. Have we settled this question - that an FXS port provides telco signaling to an FXO device? Chuck -- www.chuckslongroad.info like my web site? take the survey!
