We don't bridge, so this may be one to stay clear of.

To get the full 128K out of the Pipeline, you will need a huntgroup on the
Livingston. The Pipeline can only dial 1 number and will dial the same number
a 2nd time for the full 128K. This is where a huntgroup is needed to forward
the second call over to the next available line.

Hope this helps,

P.S- The OR-U, does dial the the 2 seperate numbers in ComOS 3.4.2L and up.
