That would be a "telephone ticket" in OTRS

In OTRS, one would assign the tickets to queues. We use one/several
queues like "webmaster", "vpn", "firewall", "proxy"

> 3. The helpdesk operator assigns the request to a technician
In OTRS you usually don't do that. You assign the technicians to be
able to process the queues and they simply look for ne stuff in the
queue (or are being notified)

> 4. The technician liases with the client, adding notes to the ticket until

Same on OTRS.

a queue per category, you could individually assign tickets to
specific technicians.
