I just did the same. BellSouth moved our lines from regular pairs to a
Conklin BriteMux, and I didn't feel like running indivitual cables.
Hopefully, this won't bring back old problems...and I simultaneously
upgraded to ComOS 3.5.
BTW...I've heard that sone ISDN TA's can actually autoconfigure
themselves...i.e. plug it into the line and it learns its spid and dir
number. (RFE) I'd really like to see this in ComOS. It would have
prevented me from having to drive back to work to fix a Portmaster that
blew it's own brains out and somehow reset itself to old spid settings
after several save all's and reboots.
