ISDN questions

I got my ISDN line to work. It was the phone companies fault, ......

I use the ZyXEL TA128 (dial-in), which has the function of PPP/MP to switch up and down the 64k/128k.

I can use on the phone exits two normal modems. and the TA128 has two serial ports, that makes 
together 4 ports:

ISDN B1  ttyR1
ISDN B2  ttyR2
PHONE 1 ttyR3
PHONE 2 ttyR4

When the first caller use only B1 the next caller could use B2 or PHONE2. In the case it is an analog 
call the LCK..ttyR4 would be occupied. What would happen, when the caller 1 uses automatically BOD 
and needs now more bandwidth? Is there a conflict to expect?

What is if I get a second ISDN line? Can BOD be used accross two TA128 ?? The first line has for both 
chanels the same phone number. If I get a second ISDN, can I use than the same phone number (line 
hunting) or would this than mean I could possible only supply 64k lines?

I am not sure if as ISP the decission to a TA128 was correct, or if I should better use the Elite 2864I. Any 
thoughts to it are welcomed.

bye

Ronald
