Earl,
We've just moved to PRI, but we used to have a BRI hunt group, 
from bellsouth right here in Atlanta on a DMS100, serial hunt.
they aparently can do the hunt on DMS more easily than 5ESS...

If you're off of a 5ESS, check out:

There is an ambiguous phrase in the Tariff documents on this,
the line is (mis)labeled "inbound data only" but the description of the line
clearly allows both data and voice traffic as long as it is inbound.
(I had our BellSouth sales rep research and confirm this)

check out: http://cpr.bst.bellsouth.com/pdf/ga/a042.pdf
        and look under section A42.3.2.U
