    What you are looking for is called a HUNT GROUP or ROLLOVER line, a hunt
    group usually consists of multiple Channelized T1 or PRI lines that all
    answer at the same number, a rollover line is usually multiple individual
    POTS (analog) lines that "rollover" to the next if the line is busy with a
    call.

    This has nothing to do with FreeBSD, it is all dealt with by the telephone
    company. FreeBSD talks directly to the terminating device (modem), not the
    phone line.

Subject: Modem Pool
Hello-
I have a question about modem pools.    If I have several dial in 
lines, and I want them to be acessable via one number, is a modem pool 
what I want?  How exactly do they work and is freebsd equipped to 
handle them?  Thanks.
