thanks for the info...
but this would mean that if a customer (the other side) changes the
setup of their router, they could cause the calls to be on our costs...
i was hoping there was a way to tell the MAX not to really make a 
connection but just give a quick call to the other side... with ISDN
it would be nice to only send a RING on the D-channel so the other
side sees the CLID and initiates the call.. this way the costs would
be reduced to a minimum.

Ricardo.
