REMARKS:

(1) The person for whose account the securities are to be sold is Steven R. Becker, the sole principal of BC Advisors, LLC, a Texas limited partnership (“BCA”). BCA is the general partner of SRB Management, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“SRB Management”), which initially acquired all of the securities of Vertical Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) described in this form for the accounts of the following entities: (1) SRB Greenway Capital, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“SRBGC”), (2) SRB Greenway Capital (Q.P.), L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“SRBQP”) and (3) SRB Greenway Offshore Operating Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“SRB Offshore”). SRB Management is the general partner of SRBGC, SRBQP and SRB Offshore (collectively, the “Funds”). Steven R. Becker, as the sole principal of BCA, exercises sole dispositive control over all securities of the Company held by the Funds. Mr. Becker previously filed a Form 144 with the SEC on August 6, 2007, covering 100,000 shares of the issuer, 76,600 shares of which had been sold as of November 6, 2007.

(2) SRB Management may elect to sell through various executing brokers from time to time.

(3) The aggregate market value is based on the $1.15 closing sale price of a share of common stock of the Company on November 6, 2007.

(4) As part of a private placement by the Company on February 9, 2006, the Funds, in the aggregate, acquired 750 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and warrants to acquire additional shares of common stock (the “Warrants”). The total cash consideration paid for the Preferred Stock and the Warrants was $750,000. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company using a formula equal to the Issue Price divided by the Conversion Price. The Issue Price was $1,000 per share of Preferred Stock and the initial Conversion Price was $1.20, subject to customary adjustments. In connection with an Agreement and Plan of Merger, entered into among the Company, Vertical Acquisition Sub Inc. and Vodavi Technology, Inc. on October 18, 2006 (the “Merger”), the Company adjusted the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock to $0.79. The securities to be sold are 213,821 shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the conversion of 79 shares of Preferred Stock and the payment of accrued dividends on the Preferred Stock in the form of Common Stock.
