We are doing work with a regional CLEC on the east coast who have their own
5ESS.  I'm able to get reasonable access to their engineers.  I'm thinking
that in the next few months, we may be ramping up to SS7, and will need
their assistance, and they will probably be able to supply it.  

What I mean is that trying to work your way through the labyrinth known as
Quest may not be the best way to get the job done.  Work with a regional
CLEC, you may get better access.
