I am using BRIs into PM2s and have been told to same thing. The lines in
the hunt group haveto be either Data or voice but not both.

This issue came up before and I made the comment that you could not mix
data and voice in the same BRI hunt group. I was told by someone that it
was possible and that I was spreading false information. I don't know if
it is false or not but that is what the GTE ISDN Support Center told me on
several occasions for both 5ESS and GTD5 switches.
