according to the manual (please corrct me if i am wrong), i must enable
use trunk groups in my max and from that, the first digit is considered as
the trunk group. But i can only use digites 4 to 9... hmm i need one for
my E1 Ports (normalle this is 9 by default)., So i have Trunk Groups 4 to
8... hmmm how can i get 8 Ports working with that...

ok, but you could have given all the possibility to use nailed as well.
It works with 64kb and then i neednt care for the trunk numbers, i need not
to renumber all dial-out numbers etc...

is there a technical problem if i configure nailed instaed of leased ?
it works witg 64kb, but then the users get disconnected...

yes, that explains how to do it with dialing...
after consulting the manual, can i do it with dial-plans instead of
trunk groups ? or is it necessary to use trunk groups in order to use
dial-plans ?

hmmm if it works with MP ok... but the bigger problem is, how to get
6 IDLS lines + dialin/out over 2 E1 Ports running...

hmmm well the problem we (and some other isps here in germany have) is,
that the manual doesnt tell anything about trunk groups etc..

fine.... thanx a lot... but keep in mind. i have more idsl connections than
trunk groups available...
