You can't say it worked for zaptel, digium's latest designs are not open
source.

There are companies whose head isn't stuck in the sand about it, look up 
PA168 and Centrality Communications. Unfortunately, when you start 
delving deeper into manufacturing business, there's nobody who wants to 
talk to you unless you commit to ~200k$ worth of hardware...
