Unfortunately, the existing PBX Administration Software only works on 
WinBloze. I'm stuck with it until I can decommission it.

It is my intention to do everything from the command line. However, 
there will be times when I'll have Interns coming in and doing some of 
the MAC activities, and I thought this might be an easier way for the 
day to day to get done. I've never seen it myself either, so am curious. 
Finally, there's the "glitter" factor. When my bosses come in and want a 
dog and pony show on the new phone system, they want to see fluffy 
bunnies and kittens, not the Ox that's doing the pulling. CLI = "old" in 
the minds of those that don't comprehend.
