RE: ISDN: One or Two Dial Strings

I am pretty sure this is a function in the ISDN modem not the switch. You
are assigned 2 numbers from the Telco. One for each B-channel. If you watch
the debug on the ISDN line you can see that when you dial the same B channel
twice that the ISDN checks then rings the second B channel.

I can do this in real world and in my lab using and ISDN simulator.
