I would have to disagree MZ. All our PRI's are load balanced meaning that
no one PRI ever fills up before calls are already being answered on another
PRI. The telco has this in place on all T1/PRI circuits they sell. I am
wondering if this will be a hardware problem for the future?

Yes it may be overkill, but thats all we buy now as the hardware cost is
not all that different. Give people the option and I think you will be
surprised.
