I remember back in the day when FS was a glimmer in tony's eye and we had a
mostly working (but not stable) MGCP UA mode with it ... but then I don't
think any more work was done it. My requirement for it has phased away also,
although if anyone is really interested I'm sure we could come up with a
bounty for this, as MGCP is fairly basic.

The only option you have for SS7 is a commercial implementation from
Sangoma. No open source implementation for SS7 or SIGTRAN exist as of now,
although there are a couple of rumors in the air about diverse efforts.

Technically yes, but the logic and billing etc is all up to you, so out of
the box, is it a preconfigured call shop system, no. Can it be used for one,
certainly. Will you have to work a bit for it, most cetainly, yes.

You can use a DB for this as well and have the XML generated or used inline.

There are a couple of efforts. Read the wiki. You could use ASTPP with
reseller option to white label it.
