Well, we were told it couldn't be done when we converted from analog
to T1 for incoming calls.
After 6 months of rants from Bell that it couldn't be done, we now
have it.
We have about 30 trunks scattered around the local calling area, and
they all hunt from a single number. I believe we use a total of 10
switches according to our last report (all flowing into our wonderful
PM3's that hangup randomly on our USR userbase *COUGH*.)
I'm not sure what specific hardware/software our "Bell" uses, but
believe me, it was a pain the _ass_ to get them to sell us the
service.
The whole process took about 6 months.
(Of course, they are our largest regional competitor.) :)
