In our geographic location, some CO's don't have enough trunks... or some
other larger local ISPs go through a DMS-100 switch and would give the
same symptom above... well almost, you'd get fast busies... without
trunks the user can't call through, with the DMS-100 there was a software
bug that happened when it got heavily loaded...
