Gary, TAPI is a software API that is used to interface with telephone equipment (PBX, voicemail, etc.) So NBX makes network phone equipment that can work with (remote) software written using TAPI. For example, telemarketers can sit at a PC running software over TAPI that lets them know who is on the phone and pulls up their account information automatically. NBX's product can work with this, just like a Siemens PBX could. The fact that NBX's product runs on UNIX internally has nothing to do with the front end of TAPI on a PC that talks to applications, and everything to do with the back end that talks to telephony devices.
