You can do this if your trunks are PRI, and your carrier supports TBCT (two B-channel transfer)... or whatever they're calling it these days. I saw this feature documented in the NT DMS-100 feature planning guide as much as 10 years ago; I assume a) it's still available and b) carriers have finally started to roll it out. :-) But at least you know what to ask for. Remember you won't get call-detail on those calls. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
