[comp.dcom.telecom] VMX Voice Mail Lawsuits

Speaking of VMX...  Readers might be interested to know that VMX holds
a (dubious) patent on voice mail systems.  They sue just about
everyone who makes voice mail and demands payment.  Most companies
don't have the legal weight to fight them in court...  VMX is an
enormous company.  Strangely enough, VMX chose not to sue IBM/Rolm
over voice mail years ago...  (Not that I'm aware of, at least.)
