Yes, but the TE410P is not required.  Only if you want T1
connections.  You could just use a regular linux box and
VoIP, for example.

This system is possible with Asterisk, using the Asterisk
Gateway Interface (AGI).  You could code it in your favorite
language, too.

It's not a turnkey system as downloaded from CVS.
