I'm really surprised that they use MGCP. Since they're very close to
Cisco I would've expected SCCP.

FWIW, Speakeasy resells a lot of Covad services. Their hosted offering
is a little different in that they also offer a low cost solution for
home office workers. This is based on their OneLink dedicated loop DSL.
Covad's offerings are all based upon full/fractional T-1 and so don't
scale down well.
