“eOn announced two new products in its family of Linux-based
communications servers. The eQueue 4000 contact center
communications server, a single solution for e-Commerce operations,
and the eNterprise 2000, a private communications exchange (PCX)
platform.”

“We introduced our first Linux-based telephony server in 1997,”
said J. Michael O’Dell, President and CEO of eOn. “Since then we
have installed Linux-based communications servers for call centers,
general business and governmental users, and emergency 911
services….”

The point is that Linux appears to be a serious contender
in the telephony server arena.
Its proponents say it’s the
most reliable and network-friendly OS on the market. Perfect for
telephony apps.”
