A number of conversations can share a significantly smaller number of
circuits by freeing the circuit associated with a conversation during
silent periods, and re-assigning one when speech starts.  I recollect
such a scheme being referred to as "TASI", but can't find this term in
the online glossaries.

Can anyone enlighten as to what it stands for?  Is there a standard
number for how much "circuit compression" it provides?

Thanks in advance,

chris
