I had one working ok, then I added a second.  The problem (I think) is 
that I have two communication processor links set to ISDN and through 
google I have found that you can only have one.  I cannot remove the second.

Are you saying that it is ok to have two ISDN communication processor 
links if I setup the way you are describing?  What is DSA?  It sounds 
like you are describing an NFAS setup.
