Yes, I use this setup for many years now.
You can create a Google voice number (or port one in from a cell phone. You can even port your landline to a prepaid sim and then port that to Google for less than $10) then connect that to an [Obhai ATA](obi202 2-port voip phone adapter with google voice and fax support for home and soho phone service https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007D930YO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YRG5CbNRNJKSN)
You can also get any ATA device and connect it to a cheap SIP provider, I use Anveo

If you want to, you could save money by getting an internet only plan & to setup the landline, you need an Obihai device & setup Google Voice for your own number. If you need help to transfer your home number to google voice, see this video for help. You then need to go to Obitalk to connect the Obihai device & google voice together. You can plug your obihai to any phone jack & your whole house has phone service, just remember to disconnect your phone line connected from your house to the poles 1st because it causes interference. Hope this helps.
You are absolutely right! One is used by a raid card and I think the other is empty at the moment on closer look... For the USB FXO ports, will there be a slowdown due to the USB 2 interface? Also what is the difference between this and say the Obi202?(https://www.amazon.com/OBi202-Phone-Adapter-Router-2-Phone/dp/B007D930YO) Is the main difference that if you use the Obi202 you cannot use the FreePBX and you have to use their software?
 
I would want to use VMWare as it seems easier to setup but what is putting me off is it seems hard to use with a free license? Are you using a free license, paid, or perhaps thru VMUG?
 
The only complication with my current VM is I had some help before in the setup and I have actually assigned two ips thru one ethernet device due to the way I wanted to mimic two devices. I just have to figure that part out...
I use GV in conjunction with this little box for my small business.

I have 2 GV numbers, so I have two lines to my business. I have it set up so if line 1 is busy, it rolls over to line two. Pair this with a two line phone system (I recommend Panasonic cordless) and you have more then enough for a small business. I also point GV to my cell phone, so I can take calls after hours, or if my business internet goes down, I can still take business calls.
The best part, is once you buy the hardware, there is no monthly fee. Im going on 6 months usage and its been rock solid.
Hope this helps.
I am not sure this will work for you, but I use www.voip.ms for my business line. They have IVRs, voicemail, virtual extensions, ring everywhere, text, fax to email, and a lot of other services. I ported my Google voice number to Verizon, then to Voip.ms, and it works fine.
I do have an ObiHai 202 VOIP adapter which connects to my phone line in my house to a regular phone. However, you can have VOIP.ms just ring to your cell phone or any other number.
I am not sure how Air BNB will treat it, but the voip.ms folks are pretty nice if you email them for support.

That is the only one I can think of. I am not too sure how it would work on Teltik. Have you considered using a VOIP solution? Possibly using a Mofi 4500 router and and OBI device?

You want cheap? Here you go - Get a Google Voice number and port it into Anveo (https://anveo.com/enter.asp). While that port is happening, go purchase a Obi 110 (https://www.amazon.com/OBi202-2-Port-Adapter-Support-Service/dp/B007D930YO/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=obi110&qid=1554225574&s=gateway&sr=8-1). Once the port is complete you can configure Anveo cloud PBX (full features). We just use our two main lines for spam filtering really. We never pay for inbound, just outbound calls. I think I put a $50 credit on the account last year and we still have credit. Of course like I say, we really just use ti for spam filtering. Thats about the least expensive way to go.
Or one could just buy an Obihai Viop device; link here ... and use Google Voice and eliminate any monthly/annual payments to anyone to call throughout the US and Canada also GV's rates internationally are as low or lower than anyone's including people like: Voip.com, Broadvoice, 8x8, VIOPo, Vonage, IPX and Phnepower
