asterisk users - Dec 2005 - PSTN gateway & Asterisk -> Virtual Switchboard???

Hi all,

My imaginary scenario is the following one: I have a PSTN gateway called
TotalControl1000, and I want to know, if connecting it to a visible
server with asterisk with public IP I could config it to offer customers
services of virtual switchboard. The customer would save the cost of a
telephone switchboard and would benefit from the advantages of the use
of voice over IP technology.

Questions are:

- Asterisk could offer same functionality as standard telephone
switchboard? Capture of calls.  Deflection of calls.  Voice Mailbox.
Groups of Calls.  Automatic answering menus.

- If anyone worked with TotalControl1000 PTSN gateway. Could it work
with asterisk to develop proposed scene and give VOIP clients make calls
to anyone on the public switched telephony network?.

Thanks
