[Asterisk-Users] CAPI, BRI and grouping B channels

[John Smith]

Hunt group is set to "Standard Operation (default)"

If you have 2 controllers presumably you have 2 ISDN2e
lines. Have you asked BT to set up a hunt group so
that the same number can be used to dial in to any of
your 4  available channels ?

Best wishes,

John
