After some thinking, it behooves you not to go into NFAS unless you have
quite a few PRI spans... the ability to get an additional channel is
outweighed by
1) having the telcom configure it properly for NFAS
2) not having each line have a D channel for security (like if your D
channel goes bonk on NFAS say bye bye to more than one span of B channels,
yeah yeah there is a backup but do we trust the telco? ;)
3) tarriffing possibly more expensive to get just one more channel...
easiest way is to check the PRI installation guide on www.livingston.com
just read through it from top to bottom when you talk to your telco when
provisioning the line...
