I'm in almost the same situation as you. However, I'm mostly worried that 
the customer service desk here will start to complain that they can't tell 
how many calls are in the queue any more (our current phone tells us how 
many calls are ringing, on hold, etc). Regardless, I'm very interested to 
hear your results as well as what others on the list say, and would like to 
stay in touch with you if you decide to move forward with Asterisk.

Thanks,
