So we're looking at various activation vendors at present.  There's a
lot of snake smelling oil out there :-).

Other than Dorado and Metasolv whom else is there out there that does
a cross-vendor activation platform? (rather than 'flow-through' +
bells-n-whistles).  We're just looking for something to abstract the
device configuration away, so that we can feed it XML about how to
configure the network.  Kinda like NETCONF, but for vendors who don't
do NETCONF today.

(That actually sounds like a great idea, a NETCONF mediation engine).
