There is a limitation of 6 trunk groups. If the E1s are all set to 9,
then you may consider "grouping" BRI channels/lines into the other
available groups?

I thought it was....I'll check on that too.

Did you try setting "group #" in the line configurations when attempting to
use nailed setup?

By who? Are they configured nailed at each end?

No difference wrt the dial-out issue.

Yes. As dial-plans key off "trunk group" 3.
(Tech support definitely owes me one on this....!)

I think you really need to talk to tech support live to discuss this, since
I'm not sure we are still reading from the same page (wrt dial-out capability
versus IDSL).

Trunk groups are discussed, but maybe not clearly enough in the places you
would expect to see them. I'll take that up too with tech pubs.

Well, since you cannot dial-out from the TNT/MAX to IDSL, I wonder if that is
an issue still?
