[Asterisk-Users] T100P to Merlin Legend - Using only 8 B-channels?

Many thanks to the people that replied about connecting a Merlin
Legend to a T100P in asterisk.

Our Merlin Legend have only 1 slot available, so putting another 100D
T1 card is not a big deal, the problem is, the ML have an 80-trunk
limit, and right now, with 2 T1s plus some analog trunks the count is
up to 72 so we don't have capacity for a full T1 with 24 more trunks
in it.

Here is what I found in the ML documentation:
"In Release 6.0 or later, if the switch is part of a private network
and a tandem PRI trunk (programmed as Legend-PBX or Legend-NTWK) has
some B-channels that would bring the total number of trunks over the
system limit of 80, the 100D module for that tandem PRI trunk should
be placed in the last slot in the carrier. In this manner, the 100D
module will contain the last lines in the system, and any B-channel
over the 80 line/trunk limit will be ignored. However, the D-channel
will still function even if the 100D module exceeds the line capacity
of the system. The number of B-channels must be the same on each
networked system."

So if we install this 100D T1 card in the last slot of the carrier
(the only one available), will the T100P support this kind of
configuration using 8 B-channels?
