This is generally good, because it means less work for you  :)  Just be 
careful not to automate away so much of your job that you end up writing out 
your own P45 .....

Not so long ago, we all used to use the number pad for writing out text 
messages -- up to 160 characters at a time .....

But remember there is almost certain to be a computer next to the phone 
anyway; so you could use a CGI script which injects entries into a database, 
and a cron job  (running as root on the Asterisk server)  to check the 
database every few minutes and do the necessary.
