Re: (ASCEND) Pipe75 won't drop one bonded line
What you'd like to accomplish isn't possible. The Pipe will only drop a
channel under the following circumstances:
1. you have a two-channel bonded connection to the same
destination and there is an incoming call.
2. you have a two-channel bonded connection to the same
destination and there is an outgoing call (pick up a phone plugged into a
POTs port on the back of the unit).
If the Pipe brings up a second channel (to the same destination) during a
data transfer, the only thing that will make it drop a channel is one of
the above situations.
Note that connecting to multiple service providers with a Pipe is more or
less a hack in the software which is evident from the fact that you can
only specify one login name (the myname parameter) in the pipe.
