I like * & as soon as I find time to get it setup, I intend to use it in our offices, but we don't use paging, I don't like paging. There are offices that use paging all day long to announce calls "Joe pickup on line 2"
To answer your question, as I understand *'s paging implementation, you assign an extension to be the "page extension", calls placed to this extension are routed to Asterisk's sound card which can then be wired into an amplifier & speakers where you want them. As stated in paragraph 1, this is fine for a barnyard or a Sam's (think barn with stuff for sale). It doesn't work in an office without putting speakers in every nook & cranny of the office.

It bugs me not having intercom/paging features. It also bugs me not being able to look at my phones to see who's on/off.
You can do overhead paging and even stream mp3's using nbsd
