Looking to see how other rural telcos offer local access.
Are people migrating towards soft switches, or are they buying used switches
that the telcos in urban markets are getting rid of.

Local access to what? The rural telcos don't need to buy someone
else's used crap. Small switches were developed quicker that large
C.O.'s. A modified Mitel SX-200 was serving a C.D.O. (community dial
office) in the early '80's and another Canadian company made an
advanced scalable switch with DTMF and CLASS features by 1988 or so.
I think that was pretty advanced as we didn't get ours until it was
tarriffed in 1989 or so.

A class 5 (end office) didn't need much in the way of switching power,
a group of trunks to the toll center and a way to bill the outgoing
calls, usually handled by the class 4 office it handed the calls to,
and everything was done.

The last manual board in our state converted to a Quatman step office
in 1979 or so. It used Mitel Touch Tone converters, ANI, and
registersenders to transmit the billing info to our central office. I
think the upgraded switch came before we got ours and they had CID and
custom calling feature before us :-)

We are replacing our Mitels with a metaswitch.
The remote COs are getting Occam blades, and losing the switching capability
they had with the Mitel, hence all switching will be done by a central
Metaswitch, except for the really remote villages, which will have their own
Metaswitch
