It most likely is possible, but I need to avoid that path for reliability
reasons - we have data calls up to the Max 24/7, and I'd be in big trouble
if I did something to cause those to go down outside of scheduled periods.

It actually looks like the Max may do what I need with something called
Drop and Insert functionality - I'm researching that. Apparently, this is
a rather common feature, but I'm new to using PRI's for this type of
purpose - always been a data guy in the past.  :)
