Hmmm....maybe that's why Cisco Unity Express runs on a small Linux kernel in
a Network Module on a router. Cisco CallManager Express is also cool stuff,
and it runs in the IOS on a router. It's also solid and ahead of
CallManager in some feature areas. Moving forward, I hope we see more on
the Linux platform.
