livingston site? like www.livingston.com then follow links?

Note: you need to also read the PM2 ComOS release notes for items like
syslogging to different files....so read as much as you can!

What is your hardware/line type setup... ComOS 3.5.1b17 or so is the
latest open beta that I know of. But if you have just PRI ComOS 3.5.1b8
works for us...

Good question...ask either suppport or sales...

Do you mean segmenting 1 line into a 256K Frame and the rest into dialup
lines? If so, this should be possible on the PM3 with Channelized E1
support, but I wouldn't do it, especially if you expect your telco to
configure it properly! Keep each line separate to minimize complications.
