Can't remember if I'm the one who responded previously, nonetheless BRI or
PRI are just digital pathways for information to traverse spans of
geographical territory. The phone numbers allocated to that hunt group
still have to be managed by a switch either on the LEC's end or local to
the business. ISDN BRI's can be brought into a facility over existing
(or new) channelized T-1's, I believe. Why would changing the pathway
change the requirement?
