No, when you get the lines provisioned, you can choose to have another one
of the circuits have a secondary D-Channel on it. It will always be
available as a D-channel only. So if you want a Secondary D-channel it is
only going to make sense to have NFAS if you have a more then a couple
PRIs since with only two PRIs you are going to end up still having two
D-channels take away from the available B-channels anyway (and there by
eliminating the major reason for doing NFAS).
