There are probably lots of issues we can't think of off the top, but they certainly aren't unsolvable.

Well, Call Manager is an awful lot like a PBX though. It's just software. At one point I was going to teach a class on Call Manager. It was so boring (and the students were essentially glorified secretaries) that I couldn't stay awake. It may have gotten better since then (a couple years ago) though.
