asterisk users - Sep 2006 - Verizon ISDN service in NY & Hunt Groups

Is anybody on here using PRI or BRI service in New York state with the trunks in
a hunt group from Verizon??

I'm trying to setup a system and I've spoken to three people at verizon
who all claim they cant put BRI or PRI circuits into a hunt group, I find that
EXTREMELY hard to believe.

If you've had success could you share the person you spoke with and or what
you asked for (or better yet a tarriff #)

thanks!
Bernie

PRIs don't use hunt groups (Just found this out myself).  An inbound 
phone number will take up as many channels as available on the PRI for 
each person calling.  I've had to take this into account on my inbound 
fax numbers and limit each call using the PRI_CAUSE=17 (User busy) to 
limit to 1 call.
