I have a use case. The use case is, be in a position to take customers tomorrow on a 5/9's platform.
One alternative is Ribbon: that solution is out of my price range, and, likely out of price range of every rural ILEC I know. A second is Squire, but, I'm not willing to risk it w/o getting my hands on a long-term trial which was requested but not offered. The final alternative is to throw into developing one, likely in two phases. The orchestration and front end of the Elephant Talk project is complete, now just need to settle on a production backend.
