Would it be too much of a stretch to suggest maybe a group of us(isp'ers) 
get together and write this software?  It seems that everyone has the 
same problem:  they can't find software that fits their needs exactly.  I 
know what we're using works, but not *exactly* the way we want it to 
work.

Look what the "sommunity" effort has done for FreeBSD, etc.  Maybe we can 
do the same for billing software?
