This can be done, and I am a proponent of Asterisk. But I don't think I
would recommend it in this situation. Frankly, having a big company like
Nortel to blame if/when downtime occurs would be worth the money difference
to me!

Most media gateways will not work if/when the SIP server (i.e. Asterisk or
SER) goes down. Now, some SIP phones can register to multiple hosts, etc,
but I'd still push towards a COTS system in this case.
