In order to get uniform call distribution (aka circular hunt) for a
10-line BBS I run, I had to get Centrex service.  It did not make a
huge difference in the monthly rate, so it wasn't a big deal.  I did
have a lot of trouble getting people in the telco business office to
understand what it was that I wanted.  I also got a separate number
for each of the ten lines on the rotary, with an eleventh number for
the rotary itself.  This lets each line be individually dialed for
problem determination.

This may or may not be of help to you, as I am not in PacBell land.
My BBS is in Rockville, Maryland, which is Bell Atlantic (Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone) territory.
