3 months... that long?

I have a Linksys SPA9000 IP PBX I want to quit. Mint condition with all 
packing etc. Nothing 'wrong' with it (except that it's a Linksys) I just hate 
proprietary stuff which is what the Linksys is.

Still it may well suit someone present on the list who doesn't mind that they 
will have to buy Linksys brand phones to work with it, and they want it 
because of the nifty "any n00b can use this" set up utility.
