Yes, no problem. You can also (potentially - I haven't configured it
myself yet!) route incoming calls depending on known availability. IP
phones allow users to log-in, so calls can follow you seamlessly; if
you don't happen to be logged in, an inbound PSTN call could be
deflected to your mobile for example. (Deflection differs from
diversion, it doesn't tie up a line whilst the divert is active, but
I expect you knew that already).

I guess it depends on how they are routed. If you are talking about
SNOM to IP, then I would guess that Asterisk is only marginally
involved in call setup/supervision. If you are talking about a call
which has to be transcoded (PSTN to IP or vice-versa), then it will
chew some CPU, but I don't have a feeling for how much yet (say 2-5%
as a completely unfounded/totally wild guess based on other VoIP
stuff I've done in the past?)
