I have ordered six T-1 advanced facilities to be installed here in the next
week or so. I also have three PM-3's that are supposed to be coming in
tomorrow. I did not order support for DNIS because Livingston told me it is
not supported. However, if I need it for the PM-3's after all, I will need
to get with the telco ASAP! Help!

MZ???? Whatcha know? Rack all those brains at your office! :)
