ROFL!

Nortel are a huge company, they will always come off as arrogant
peddlers of closed technology if you look at it through the rosy glasses
of the OSS community.

But, doing a simple risk simple business risk assessment rules out many
OSS solutions (not just talking about the pbx issue) because there
simply isn't the business know-how and structure to back up the
gee-whizz coolness of making a 3 line PABX work on a hacked PS2 running
from a bunch of potatoes soaked in Coke-a-cola (tm).

Cheers, Me.
