Ok, hold up

Give me a minute or two.

Ok, I want to record something cool for you guys to hear. This might take longer than a minute or two. Additionally, I want to give you some options to choose from.

Are you ready yet ? We don't necessarily need something "Cool" ! We just want to be part of a job well done ! Thanks

Unicode, I would be leery of 3 way calling through a LEC. Generally speaking you get billed for every single 3 way you do on top the phone call. XO just uses T1 to "long haul" dialtone to your channel bank. It should act just like a POTS lines (possibly hotter voltage-wise). I have MANY customers that do, what you are trying to, do with just a few Centrex lines.

We are still waiting for that Telephone number that you promised to post ! :shrug:

Sorry about that, I got wrapped up in the Godfather game yesterday and now I'm on the phone with XO sorting some stuff out. At any rate, call 773-724-2063

Ok, here's what I found out from XO. They say that the hunting feature isn't being controlled by them. They say it is the bank that is controlling it. Is it possible for me to set the bank to only accept one call at a time per line? What I mean is, can the second caller on the same number be busied out? If not, they say they can make the changes at the central office but they want me to see if I can do it first.

I have never heard of a channel bank providing hunting. That's a feature of their switch, or anybody's CO switch for that matter. Try to send a PM to AnthonyH; he works with this stuff and should be able to assist further.

Super, I will message him in a bit. I have not told XO to change anything just yet. I want to see what I can control with the bank first.
