I'm not sure about your 2nd question, but as far as the 1st question goes: Why not have a separate phone number for ISDN ONLY that dials directly into the Max4004 PRIs? The analog customers can then dial into another number for the huntgroup of several Max4048s. === Steven Guerin Communiqué Technical Specialist > ---------- > From: Thomas J.
