I agree, walterv, but whadayagonna do? seems most everybody's servers run on MS, it's not just a ShoreTel thing. I do my share of cussing Mr. Gates and crew, too. I don't have the options of trying other OS products that some may have. not sure I would want to get too far off the main stream, though, even with the known trouble areas. on the "bleeding edge" can be a scary place.
