One of the other responders told me that P8 didn't allow termination to 
Asterisk.  Did you simply do it on the sly?  Or is this simply not true?

Exactly!  Real choice.  And it turns out that I don't have to shop "features" 
between the various providers.  Any feature that they may provide, I can 
provide with Asterisk.  That simplified my choice.  It came down to money and 
policy.
