I am well aware of Centrex -- I've migrated to/from it in the past. The party that is interested in this uses Sover.net for phone service already. Sover.net does a "hosted PBX" that apparently is functionally different from Centrex. They need to drop a T1 in to even talk to you. My rep @ Sover didn't seem to think they could offer Centrex -- atleast over a DSL/IAD setup.
