Another b etter method  to minimize the oc c urrenc e of g lare on ISDN PRI trunks is 
availab le only in G3V2. In G3V2 you c an ad minister the trunk hunting  d irec tion for 
the ISDN PRI trunk group  as asc end ing  on one system and  as d esc end ing  on the 
other system. This will make it unlikely that the same trunk (B c hannel)...
