OK, I see the picture now. :-) I though the above idea would just allow
it to acccept a call on the 2nd B channel, I somehow missed the part about
Call-Forwarding on the line. It just seems like you shouldn't need the
forwarding, as there is no techinical reason why ISDN can't pass a second
call to the same number on the second B channel. I think Livingston has
to modify the code so that it will permit this, as the Telco must think
this work as it tries to setup the call, but the PM rejects it...
