- I have an old (four or five years old) AT&T trunk service/reference
- guide that has a passage to the effect that upon reaching 60-70% trunk
- group saturation, 4ESS will return a reorder to all but callers with a
- priority class of service code. I do not know if this practice is
- still in effect but I would suspect that something very similar is for
- exactly the reasons mentioned in the preceding thread.
