Do you guys realize the economy of scale that is necessary to achieve 
profit if a linksys-like *-based PBX is a reality? I doubt if anyone on 
this list has the manufacturing facilities and quality control processes 
to make this happen. There are Standards Associations (e.g. CE, CSA) and 
FCC regulations and all that jazz.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass... I just don't think that the original 
idea has been thought through.
