  Do they *need* to be on your main network?  If not, isolate them
from your main net and the Internet, and call it done.

  If they need connectivity, check with the phone system vendor.
Chances are there is an upgrade path.  (Possibly a very expensive one,
but I'm sure they explained all that when they sold you the fancy VoIP
system right?  ;) )  Alternatively, phone system mfg may have a Custom
Support Agreement with Microsoft that lets you get security fixes
through them.
