Now that Samsung has revived support for HP's Openmail, I believe we will use it as an alternative to Exchange.
Currently we have our email outsourced on Exchange 2000, and are seriously considering moving it in house. Current infrastructure is Windows NT 4.0, not Server 2000 with AD.

Instead of revamping the entire infrastructure, we can bring up a LINUX box and install Contact.

What are your thoughts/suggestions on this?

Don't you worry that HP don't support their own product? sure Samsung probably do a good job supporting Openmail, but what about enhancements, bug fixes etc.. when a company stops supporting it's own products, I'd tend to give it a wide berth.

Your main issue seems to be the quality of your service provider, rather than Exchange itself. Sure you can bring it all in-house, which is a valid option, it is likely to be cost effective to attempt to address your concerns with your providerin the first instance and give them a reasonable amount of time to address your concerns.

If this wakeup calls fails, then there are a number of email products on the market.

In the long run it might be more cost efficient to look for anotheroutsourcing partner to host your mail. :-)
