<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Very interesting.... so say you had to do teho out the gk first then out the local pstn if the the gk is down. So lets say the gk is down... you're saying that if the pstn gw is in the second rg in the rl and that pstn gw is h323, wihtout changing these settings the call would fail? Even if the trunk to the gk was an h225 trunk? I'm assuming then if the pstn gw in the second rg was an mgcp gw then these settings would have no effect?</FONT></DIV>
