okay, i'm a little fuzzy

On PRI:

No Modems: PM3 accepts either DATA or DOSBS calls no Analog
Modems: PM3 accepts DATA or DOSBS or Analog, BUT cannot accept additional
DOSBS calls if there are no free modems available.

On CT1:

No Modems: Will the PM3 accept DOSBS calls?
Modems: PM3 accepts DOSBS or Analog, BUT cannot accept additional DOSBS
calls if there are no free modems available.
