Indeed. I use Linksys 3002 boxes -- they now have another name,
I think -- to provide one FX and one FO line apiece. An office
of 30 people who aren't doing telemarketing might  use 2 outbound
lines, of which one should be reserved for 911 calls, and as
many simultaneous SIP connections as your bandwidth can support.

SIP quality is pretty much identical to POTS, provided you have
a good enough connection to the Net.
