asterisk users - Dec 2003 - BT launches consumer VoIP product ...

VoIP watchers may like to take a look at this:

 <http://www.btbroadbandvoice.com/broadband_voice/bb_voice_home.html>

BT has launched a consumer VoIP service in the UK using ATA 186s (judging 
by the picture).  Now if only I could connect the service to my * server 
without the ATA ....

You can!!! :)
Use one of those FXS to FXO converters found at eBay, connect X100P to
the FXO port and you all setup.

Why would you need one of those?  Those are designed for plugging a voip
line into a POTS line or such so that you can dial a number, hit the
converter, and pass your call out the VoIP line.  All you need to do is plug
the ata186 into your X100P. No extra hardware required.

Sorry, quotes in Outlook not working for some reason today... (usually
it does with the help of
http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/ ... )

Anyway...
My understanding is that X100P cable will only plug into an FXO port NOT
FXS.
Please correct me if I am wrong!!! Anyone else can confirm this so we
clear this up?

A X100P is just like a telephone or modem, it is an FXO device. The
ATA186 is a FXS device. FXO devices plug into FXS devices.
