Just a note on YOUR problem... and hunting ISDN Bs in general... you MUST
tell the telco that you require CSV=1 and CSD=1 on EACH BRI. By default it
seems that the switches set them to be = 2. These are "Call Switched
Voice" and "Data" and are the number of calls the switch will send to each
B channel. With it set to 1, then the hunting will kick in. If it is set
to 2, the call goes to the same B and the hunt group doesn't kick in.
GOOD LUCK getting a switch technician on the phone who can do this for you
- that is the toughest part. DO NOT TRY TO RELAY IT THRU YOUR SALES
PERSON! They'll never get it right or it will be ignored.
Later.
