IP Office Software Running on Linux?

[IPXTech]

First and foremost, I realize that this setup is 100% unsupported by Avaya. However, I'm curious as to whether anyone has been able to install and run Manager and/or VMPro from a Linux-based OS.

So far I've only tried openSUSE with the Gnome Desktop. Used Wine to install the software. I'm having trouble getting Java to install correctly (it isn't recognizing the RPM) so System Status isn't working properly. Manager doesn't open at all, but it seems that Monitor works fine.

Just curious if anyone's been able to get it working with a Linux kernel, and if so, what combination of OS/Desktop/software. Primary reason we're trying this out is we have the occasional customer who we are unable to set up dial-up access to, but still want a standalone way of remote access. So we use a service-based program into a box to get in. Obviously there's other methods of remote access, but paying for Microsoft licensing for something so minor seems a bit overkill, especially since we normally don't charge customers for these boxes.

Thanks, look forward to the input.

Wine seems to fail installing .net framework

I have also tried using virtualization but cannot get data to route to the Windoze guest from the Linux host (yet).

It won't run on linux
Your only solution looks like virtualising
