Maybe I'm in a rare situation, but outgoing calls cost. No way in hell I'm
ever placing a call to a customer. I s'pose the NAS could send a notice to
the client telling it to bring up a second channel, but I think it would be
easier to just let the client equipment see the line full for 10 seconds
and initiate the second line itself.
