Opera is the high end product, and FINANCIALLY way out of the park. Fidelio Express, now in Version 3 would be a perfect solution for a hotel of that size.
As for your major mistake, only a REALLY OLD version of Micros restaurant software runs on SCO. RES (the most popular version of their restaurant software) had a new version (4) released in the past month, runs on Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server (and NT/2000/XP/CE clients). Again, a "junior" package exists which runs on the highly stable Windows CE and has the option of a Windows XP PC.
The recent "forced upgrades" come from Visa/Amex/etc's PCI/CISP/whateveritscalledthisweek compliance requirements. Please feel free to read up on them. That said, they aren't even mandatory, you can use a nonintegrated credit card solution just as easily as an integrated one... or continue to run software not compliant and hope you don't get caught and forced by the CC companies to pay huge fines.
Please, learn before you post. I work for a company that sells, installs and supports these very Point of Sale solutions for Retail, Restaurant, and Hotels. You've been trumped.
I've had Telocity for quite some time now, and have no complaints about it. I know in other markets, and even across town, other customers have had both similar and different experiences. If I had to do it over, i'd pick telocity again. Static IP, freedom to run any OS and and service as I please, I can't go wrong. Speed and uptime haven't been problems for me either. It's unfortunate that we can't expect a certain level of service from a company, nationwide. But for now, we must spend the extra time to order, wait, test and switch/spend if needed. I've found the same true of most cable modem services too. I guess we'll al just wait for fiber, but you know there will be problems there too. Sad.

Wow, talk about uninformed.

What an absolutely stupid way to promote. Insult the competition, first sign that you have nothing to offer.
Change the wording on this crap, and it ---might--- be worth using. Still doubtful.
All this jibber jabber and not one "check out my cyberpenii NOC@home" picture.
sad sad.

HOW those arms got into that shape can be debated.
