You have no idea how timely this is, as we are just starting to put 
together some automation scripts in a new billing system.   Something 
that has been sorely lacking in BlueOnyx (and it's not BlueOnyx's 
"fault") is the ability to tie in with billing / customer management 
automation systems.  That keeps it from playing with the big name 
control panels.   There are some older "legacy" billing systems that 
included some support for Cobalt RaQ, but then when things went belly 
up, that support started falling away.  BlueQuartz kept the code alive 
and for that we'll be forever grateful.  Hopefully now BlueOnyx will 
carry the torch into new territory.   It doesn't have to beat the other 
panels.  It just needs to have a healthy niche.   Putting some tools in 
the drawer is a good step in that direction.
