Another Asterisk Question?

I am trying to understand the Asterisk setup. Maybe I am thinking about this wrongway? If I do a setup at home I need one FXO port to interface with my POTS system at home. What I am having issues understanding is the setup of my home phones. The way I understand it is if I want to use a regular cheap home phone I use a FXS port to interface it to the Asterisk system right? Would it be best to equip most of the phones at homes with new VOIP phones? Is so do I then just hook ip the VOIP phones to my home network and then plug the Asterisk box netowrk card into my home network thus eliminating the need for the FXS connections?

Thank for the info!

netsysadmin, start with a SPA-3000 and connect your IW to the FXS port. The SPA-3000 has a high WAF because of its internal fail-safe relay - if power OR SIP registration is lost, a relay goes "click" and the FXO and FXS ports become electrically connected to each other. So you can continue to have home dialtone in an emergency.

You can then replace individual phones with IP phones. Or FXS ATAs.
