Dan,

I believe you're mistaken. Dialer load-threshold will also drop a channel
if the load remains below the load-threshold long enough. Remember, the
period during which the load is evaluated is determined by the dialer
interval-period which, by default, uses 300 seconds (5 minutes).

Does anybody disagree?

But, on the other hand, it doesn't take 5 minutes for utilization to exceed
the load-threshold for the 2nd channel to be added. Go figure.
