According to my belief, the "all powerful OSI transport protocol" will decide
that two people are wanting a connection, so two connections should be granted.
There is even a special identifier within the protocol to distinguish PDUs
on two different transport connections from each other when they use the same
network connection.
The idea of call collision causing a single connection is strictly a
TCP/IP idea.
