Yep, just like all of our products. You set up a location table. It will
use one B channel to start, bring up the other when the high water mark
is hit, and drop them with the idle timer. All Livingston products have the
same basic features.

You can do on-demand to them from *one* PM - but no need to dedicate a
particular channel. If there is a channel open, on demand can use it.

Put it on the last ISDN box or something, the one most likely to have a
free channel.
