Wow, that sounds horrifically inefficient. *MAYBE* keep the D channel open
all the time if necessary, but what about all the channels that are not in
use? Just waste 64k for each channel just because?

Do you have any information on this technology, or the name of the vendor
that offers it? You've piqued my interest. :)

The reason for this scheme as proposed to us was for FAX use rather than
other means.

The people who proposed it however within a week converted to "Plan B".  So,
I have no further info.
