Sorry, b20 and it's ISDN Switch Type NI-2.

My (limited) understanding of how calls are allocated is that we recieve a
D channel message with the appropriate bearer cap, the PM3 decides which
B channel can accept the call, and reports same back, ie the switch is
not directly involved in selecting the B channel.

Is this the way it works?

Can livingston provide some info on what the 'set debug isdn-d' and 'isdn-m'
are all about? (Maybe another secret decoder ring!!)
