[VoIP] Can this be done?

[Shane Young]

Ok, I'm going to have to jump to a couple of more conclusions here.

This E&M port is on the 3810?

You want to send a call in via one E&M port and use another to trigger  
the ANI spill?  Both E&M are on the 3810?






Quoting Paul Wills <pdwills at verizon.net>:
