This is REALLY a bad idea!!! Pack your bags now. Because you are both going to loose your job. Going from a "state of the art" PBX to an Asterisk box will be a disaster. Not saying Asterisk doesn't work, but an Asterisk box is not a business class solution. By doing this you are commiting carear sucide.

If this guy wants to play with an asterisk box, then trunk your current PBX to an asterisk box.
