This is wery interessting. We are some people in Norway working with 
this. We have just started, but I know that Asterisk (or something 
similar) will be something that schools are going to ask for in the 
future. We want to be able to tell the schools that they are going to 
get Asterisk for free, together with Skolelinux (Debian-edu).

It is tru that this do not have any high priority now, but I think this 
will be something that is going to get more and more atention in the future.
