Steven: Thank you for your response.
I do want to continue using the Adit for the data... In terms of routing the FXO, I would either want to route 1-10 from the Adit to *, or 1-12 (not sure how much I would gain/lose from having the fax and analog phone jacks direct from Adit or via *)... For the desk phones, there are only a maximum of 6 extensions, and the Adit is equipped with an 8 port FXS card. So I think what you were recommending is routing 1-10 from Adit to *, then map the 6 extensions back from * to the Adit FXS card? The Adit is provider owned and on their side of the dmark (as far as I know), so I realize that I would not be able to configure it in this case and would have to have them do it. Do this sound accurate?
