Funny you should bring that up.  We frequently have to reboot our system 
for stability reasons.  Our last issue was the server freaked out and 
all the phones time displays were showing weird characters, no calling 
out.  Calling into the system from an outside number, resulted in a 2nd 
dial tone.  We were able to make long distance calls via that second 
dial tone.  Had to reboot the system to recover.  I'll stick with a *NIX 
based OS.
