*'''(i need your advice)''' The heart of SME Server 8 is based on the GPL'd sources of the unsupported developer release of SME 7.0 alpha from [http://www.mitel.com/ Mitel],who   is the copyright holder for much of what makes SME Server what it is.  Mitel's commercial offering is known as the  "Mitel Managed Application Server", and in the past was known as e-Smith.  Mitel has been very generous to fund development of the alpha and beta versions and to keep to the  spirit of the GPL by sharing their source code freely.

*'''(i need your advice - Changed a couple of words which makes it read better, the statement should still be included IMO, MITEL still offers a commercial solution (TF))''' The heart of SME Server is based on the GPL'd sources of the unsupported developer release of SME 7.0 alpha from [http://www.mitel.com/ Mitel], who are the copyright holder for much of what makes SME Server what it is.  Mitel's commercial offering is known as the  "Mitel Managed Application Server", and in the past was known as e-Smith.  Mitel has been very generous to fund development of the alpha and beta versions and to keep to the  spirit of the GPL by sharing their source code freely.

*(your advice) Windows 2000, XP and W7 domain logon support - Previous versions have allowed the server to act as a domain controller for client computers running Windows 95, 98, ME or NT. This version now extends that domain logon support to Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Seven.  

*(your advice, reads OK, or is technical facts doudtful (TF)) Windows 2000, XP and W7 domain logon support - Previous versions have allowed the server to act as a domain controller for client computers running Windows 95, 98, ME or NT. This version now extends that domain logon support to Windows 2000, XP and W7.  

*(Is it always right) Experimental ISDN card support - While our software has always supported external ISDN adapters, this version now includes experimental support for using an internal passive ISDN card.  

 

*(need to be reread) Use of unmodified packages from upstream providers - Packages from Centos 5 (2.6.18 kernel), Mitel, and other packages from atrpms and rpmforge are used unmodified whenever possible. The result is that any other Redhat EL5 or Centos 5 RPMS should work without modification.  

*(Is it always right, AFAIK, will need to ask in devs list or bug tracker to confirm (TF)) Experimental ISDN card support - While our software has always supported external ISDN adapters, this version now includes experimental support for using an internal passive ISDN card.
