At the moment, it's not *completely* true anymore, but there are only
three circumstances I'm aware of which are practical:

1) one Analog DID trunk with a fairly new MultiTech modem with the
appropriate support -- note that ADID trunks are *inbound-only*.

2) an ISDN BRI (2B+D) with a USR Courier I-Modem (or maybe a ZyXel
2864i?), which gets you 2 simultaneous incomings -- *if* your telco
will do multiple DN's on a BRI -- I gather many won't.

3) an ISDN PRI with a Digi Datafire, Eicon DIVA, or some other ISDN T-1
card I can't remember right now.  This one is easy enough to provision,
but *pricey* as all hell.

I believe that exhausts the solution space at the moment; Yan?  Did I
get it right?

(Note that all of these solutions require *very* current code --
possibly including CVS, though I believe a new release is coming soon
with some (or all) of that support rolled in).
