I've not used Calix gear, but the Adtran TA5000 supports a Cisco-like
CLI. It can also be provisioned entirely using SNMP, if that's more to
your liking, and in fact that is how Adtran's in-house provisioning
suite works. It also has some TL1 support if you really must...
The CLI has some necessary deviations from Cisco IOS, of course, as
almost all "industry standard" CLIs do, but you can probably pick it up
pretty quickly.
If you buy new/prime gear directly from an authorized Adtran disty you
also get their provisioning and monitoring suite (AOE) "free" as long as
you maintain a support contract (which isn't particularly expensive).
It's kinda blah (and Flash-based, but I'm told that's changing by the
end of the year...) but does work.
