I used some product a few years ago (around 2000) that I think had genie in
the name. It was a USB based phone and the software ran on the PC. It worked
nice and integrated with outlook. The company went belly up. Since then I
stay away from version 1.0 hardware.

This system uses a small server that has no gui, everything is done from a
PC on the same network. It apparently runs some type of Windows but it
doesn't run on a standard PC.

Its for small offices. Same market as SBS so likely targeting < 50 users and
most likely < 20 users.
