My first thought was that you had something like a 4060 using E1 lines,
but your web pages seem to indicate you are in British Columbia, Canada.
(maybe two T1 plus some ISDN BRI?)
Locality asside, whatever the number of lines you have,
if they are ISDN the Max will know that they are "voice" calls
and send a signal to the telco switch to signal "busy" when
no more modems are available, if the lines are instead
simply channelised T1/E1 I do not believe that the max can
signal the switch to return busy...
