Mostly Paetec and Focal CLEC switches in various regions. Probably why
they can't do proper LNP in some cases since neither Paetec or Focal
have a switch in those regions.

Luckily we've got a pretty much idle Paetec #5ESS here in Providence
that handles things quite nicely.

Vonage simply uses IP packets instead of copper pairs to haul calls to
underutilized capacity on CLEC switches. Really elegant when you come
right down to it. They completely bypassed the local regulatory
environments.
