So let me see if I have this correct. If I had DN's on my portmaster
(one number on each port) and someone calls the first number twice it
will reject the second call (which I have seen). Now if I go in and
just delete the DN's (I thought they were required), then if the same
number is called twice it will actually work and accept both calls??
If this is correct, it may be a solution I am looking for.

I have tried to explain this part of my problem to Livingston, and
explained that if I put a P50 on the same BRI it works fine, but plug
into the 5BRI and it will reject the second call..
