[cisco-voip] CCM Upgrade to 4.1 on HP DL320-G3

[Chris Ellington]

Hopefully I won't start a flamewar but-

Perhaps it's possible too to clean up the 18G drives a bit and buy just a
little bit of time until you can move to linux - then it would seem that the
whole M$ licensing schemes would be invalidated.  Hopefully this sort of
nonsense will be avoided in the future since we aren't going to buy a
platform limit but rather a license block to license what we are using
(check the price list if you don't understand what I'm saying - look in the
CCM licenses).

In theory, a 7845 and a 7815 will cost the same from an OS license
perspective as we move away from M$.
