I don't know the service *quite* well enough to be sure that it will do everything you want, but you might want to investigate whether your (proposed) PRI provider supports TBCT: Two B-Channel Transfer, and exactly how they implement it. As long as you're ok releasing the calls when you decide where they're supposed to go, it might solve your problem, and then you'll only need enough channels for the number of calls simultaneously being set up, not the number of ongoing conversations. Or something. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
