engineer with 5+ years experience in enterprise-scale VoIP deployment?

Deployable enterprise VoIP products existed in 1998. So it would be 
somebody who was there doing it back then? Goes 5+ with a margin.

Yes, but I hear that both of the guys who actually *DEPLOYED* anything
enterprise-wide in 1998 are happily employed and not available.
