I didn't think this was scalable to a PRI full of fax calls.  I'm  
trying to build a higher end fax server, all fax.  My VoIP is handled  
by my Tekelec t6000 softswitch.  I was hoping I could utilize the  
DSPs in the MAX TNT which are currently sitting idle.  PRIs are free  
for me once I buy the switch ports.  I think I'm going to go with a  
HyldaFAX enterprise solution with Brooktrout cards if I can't get the  
TNT to do its thing.
