This is untrue.  I am using nfas-group-id = 0, and it is working just 
fine.  The DS-1's have to be whatever the telco has them set up as on the 
switch.  You may want to try using 1 to 10, as I have had switch techs lie 
to me before about this.

The switch type needs to be changed to nat-isdn-2-pri to do nfas.
