Quick question(s).  We have the SQL Server version that comes with Visual Studio (6.5 Developers Edition).  Before I begin, I know some of my answers may be in the manuals and help files but I must honestly admit I don't have the time to do the digging myself.  Therefore I am relying on the info here from all you experienced folk.

Ok, first question.  Are there any limits on using this version?  We will be using it to develop our applications core initially.  Once this is all said and done, we will be opening it up to our clients.  Our clients are all external that call into our IVR system.  We will have the IVR written in VB5 and Visual Voice so we have direct control over how it communicates with our SQL Server.  We currently have 3 IVR machines with 24 lines each.  So theoretically, we can have up to 72 people hitting the machine at the same time.

Now that is the first step.  After this is done we will be adding internet capability into our database.  Not sure if this will have an impact on your answer but just in case.

If your answer is yes, what are our upgrade options or where can I find this info?

    The developers edition is limited to 10 connections.

SQL Server Developers Edition used to be limited to 5 concurrent connections. That may have changed but I don't think so.
