This won't work. You won't be able to multilink across two different
serial ports, and each modem will only handle one call.
Adtran makes a box that will aggregate BRIs into PRI, which will then
play well with a PM3.
Beware that GTE has extreme difficulty in making data and analog calls
play well together in BRI hunt groups. It can be done, but GTE's clue
level in doing so is abysmally low.
And getting them to do more than 32 channels of voice/data hunting with
BRIs (16 BRIs worth) is damned near impossible.
Call Solunet on 800-795-2814 for the scoop on the Adtran box.
