I used to run an M6 back when it was VocalData's VOISS.  We ran ADIT
600s in MGCP for several smaller installations. They worked great.

Also ran a Zhone MALC in MGCP.  A nice solution with the M6 for places
where you want dial-tone and ADSL2+.

I think I'd still run MGCP if I was installing either today -- then
again the M6 might support SIP better now.  (At one point, SIP requests
from unsupported software could cause the M6 to reboot...  That was 
*NOT* a fun support call.)

You can pickup ADITs on the used market pretty cheaply now.  You might
grab one to test.  A couple of months ago, I could have shipped you 
the one that sat in my garage for 3 years...
