AFAIK, the portmasters don't support NFAS yet. (yet)

As for switched voice/data and pri service, worldcom does provide pri
service and can in every case (I believe) provide either data or
voice. Problem is (as of about 3 months ago) they only had switched
voice/data in approximately 85 tandems although I'm sure that number
is higher now. I'd kinda be surprised to find it in your area
especially if brooks did not previously provide pri service.
