 Does anyone know if avaya voip product is running linux under 
 the hood?

Yes.  The 5300 (even the non-voip featured ones) are a RedHat
enterprise box with standard layer 2 switching hardware to connect the
chassis together.

Don't know about the other models, or even the current state of the 5300
platform, but the two or so year old ones I've been dealing with have
the above config.

familiar with the product so sorry if it was wrong.

  Probably not.  Linux is GPLed.

  More likely a propietary RTOS that they wrote themselves.

Sounds like you need to take a refresher course on the GPL then. 
The GPL only matters if you link with other GPL code. It also only
matters if you distribute your code, and then it only matters if your
customers ask for the code that was linked to other GPL code. You do not
have to give away your code to people you haven't distributed your
changes to, nor do you have to advertise it is available. It only
matters that you will play nice if someone asks.

That all being said, You are probably right for anything that has custom
hardware in it. But on other products that aren't much more than a PC
and an ethernet card, they could as all their software could be
insulated from GPL code.
