Explain my outside box

I don't think you read his statement correctly.
Verizon line (with DSL filter) to the LINE port.
This would be correct. connecting the existing "phone service" to the line port of the Obi.
You may only be able to test it with a single phone without digging into the house wiring.
This is mostly correct. It should say

You're right, I misread that. Hooking the outside phone line to the LINE port is perfectly acceptable; that's the intended use. I don't think the OP ever stated which model OBi he has and I may have for some reason assumed he has an OBi100, but in any case I totally missed RevKev's reference to the LINE port. My profuse apologies for that! :-[
My post was cautioning against connecting the outside phone line to the PHONE port, which of course is a big no-no!
