Only if it's an analog call, of course. If you have as many modems as
channels you are wasting one modem for every digital call.

There is an option to do disable a cnahhel.

Someone pointed out to me that the usefulness of doing this comes from the
fact that not all switches can provision the lines the same way. On our PRIs,
if a call comes in and there is no modem available (but possibly
channels available), the analog caller gets a busy or skips ahead in the
cascade, while the digital caller can still come in and take the available
channel.
