I'm sure they're designed to be served by a Sun box or something; but how easy would it be to reverse engineer the protocol and make a free server? why ever would you put a PBX on embedded NT? if you were deteremined to go with a non-free OS, wouldn't you at least go QNX or VxWorks or SCO or something that wasn't designed to be rebooted once a day?
