Once upon a time Stephen Fisher shaped the electrons to say...

You should never underpopulate a CT1 box - period. That's one of the rules
of the game. Always have enough modems to cover incoming DS0s - UNLESS
you are *ONLY* doing ISDN DOSBS, no modems.

RIght.

Nope. You need a DSP to generate the busy, and the reason you want to
generate a busy is you don't have any DSPs left. Yossarian would
