Ok, so I went back and reread the datasheet. I had previously only done a
quick scan of the site for NFAS, and come up with that page. I guess I
need to read everything a little closer next time.

I could have sworn that NFAS was in the ComOS that was shipping with the
PM4's when they were originally going out. So, anyone who was using the
earlier beta and configured for NFAS had to stay with beta and couldn't
upgrade to a released version? I'm really interested in this option.
Across the 14 PRI's in this one hunt group, I can save more than the cost
of one of them, and gain an additional 12 lines if NFAS was available.
