Well I can't speak for Bell South, but here in Bell Atlantic I did after
a lot of time with the switch engineers come up with a hunting solution
that appears to be working. We are using a 5BRI which is connected to
a AT&T 5ESS switch running NI-1 across multiple BRI's in a combined
Voice/Data huntgroup. This was not plug-n-play by any stretch of the
imagination, but it does work. I am still looking for a solution where
I can just order a basic huntgroup and have it work, but for now I have
to explain all the special options to them whenever I order new lines..
