Minus deux points. Oh, but I did. And more. Much more... When the installation eventually happened, it all seemed to be ok. I only used it sparingly, and even then did not use "bonding", so I typically was only using one channel at a time. When We upgraded our s/w to stuff that did bonding, whenever we asked for a 2 channel call it failed. We spent *DAYS* pissing around withe the cards, s/w, cables etc. Eventually, we asked BT to check the ISDN setup. They finally admitted (two weeks later) that the second B channel was incorrectly configured at the branch exchange, and hadn't worked as a digital channel since day 1. Result? 1 years free rental. I know thats only 340 quid or so and doesn't cover the costs to us, but its better than nothing... They really are a bunch of useless tossers, sometimes. -- Nick de Smith
