Sorry to reply to my own post but for clarification, we had four queues. English sales, English support, Spanish sales, Spanish Support. At peek times, we would have 200-300 agents logged in and 600 or so callers. This was usually when our ads were running during Jerry Springer or Judge Judy. I think his two agent single queue would work just fine. Add Queuemetrics which is free (I believe) for five or less agents and then you can actually get some reporting on how your support role is handled.
