Right up front I'll note I'm not unbiased, since I'm an engineer working for Aculab (not Acculab, thats a company that makes cute little balances and scales).
The best resource I've found for finding out about Linux and Computer Telephony is www.linuxtelephony.org. They even leaked about Aculab's Linux support policy last year (it was only announced in February officially).
As an engineer working in the CT industry, I'm seeing more and more companies considering real, money-earning projects using Linux. We're starting to see support for Linux from other CT vendors, and I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft's investment in Dialogic is a reaction to that. My personal prediction is that we'll see Linux and Solaris grabbing an increasing share of these types of applications, so it should get easier and easier to get Linux drivers and software for CT cards. Aculab certainly plans to expand on Linux support from what I can see.
Solid Compact PCI and hot-swap support under Linux would help a lot in this application area though.
