Hi Steve-

I'd guess that most people who are backhauling with another switch are 
using * for all of the callcenter tasks, since it is very well suited to 
call center operations, while a traditional enterprise PBX is more 
familiar to the average business user.  From my experience, you should 
have no trouble with an all-Asterisk call center, especially with the 
advent of tools like astguiclient and 
http://demo.xcept.it/xc-ast/index.jsp which reduce custom programming 
for your site, reducing costs.
