Which got me to thinking...could this be a possible business opportunity?

NH has a lot of small businesses.  I would guess that many of them probably 
paid more than they wanted to for a phone system, or haven't bought one 
because of the price.  My wife's small business spent about $2500 for a basic 
10 phone system w/o voicemail.  They skipped the voicemail and bought less 
phones than they wanted to due to the cost.

If anyone decides to pursue this, please do a little research and send me a 
one page summary on the features you want to support and why you think this 
could be a viable business.  I'll share it with my contacts who have PC-based 
telephony experience to see if any of them would be interested in either 
offering advice and feedback, or maybe even working with you.

Thanks,
Larry
