Which leads to...

Will there be "intelligent" allocation of ports in partially populated
boxes? Or is there some sort of static mapping of inbound calls to physical
ports which would prevent this?

IOW, say I've got a 2 PRI unit and only 24 modems installed. Will this box
be able to serve 24 modem and 22 ISDN B-channel connections, no matter what
order the calls came in (assuming there were exactly 22 ISDN and 24 modem
requests during that ideal period, of course)?

Or, if the modems are installed in the first 3 module slots and the first 20
dial-ins happen to all be ISDN, is the unit at this point only capable of
handling 4 modem calls and 22 additional ISDN B-channels?
