Those are good reasons, but one compelling reason is that it's pretty 
inexpensive to set up a system. We sell Avaya systems, mostly Partner. 
They are one of the least expensive systems to buy and install, but it 
still runs at least $400/station with voice mail. The last asterisk 
install I did had a couple pots lines, a nufone account for outbound LD, a 
couple grandstream phones, and was about $1k, not including the server. It 
didn't take long to set up and I can administer it from my office.
