I went to the UNIX EXPO trade show last month in NYC.   There was a vendor
there called "Computer Integration Associates" or some such (their sign said
CIA in big letters), who were selling the 7300, packaged wiht the AT&T voice
board and a bunch of softwarte CIA had written.  I asked the guy about supply
issues; he said he'd bought the last 500 of them available.

Disclaimer: I don't knwo if he was right or not.
