No built in high availability or clustering options making it as 
reliable as the harware, OS and apps..

Last time I looked it up PC systems combined hardware components average 
reliability was about 96% uptime(This was a while back so the percentage 
may not be accurate).. This is a problem for telecom's system whos 
uptime is usually measured in years and not a percentage of 1 year..

No flames please, I realise that there are issues involved with the PSTN 
lines, channel banks and some other things in a clustered senario..

Later..
