Great news!

Does this mean we will be getting an open source call manager soon?  
Does the SCS500 even have a call manager?  If so, would it be possible 
to buy the call manager separately as a module to SipX.  This has been a 
topic of much debate around the office.

Congrats, and best of luck to everyone at Pingtel/Nortel.
