Can someone in the net land explain to me how the Uniform Call
Distribution algorithm works in a ESS.
I would like to have an overflow hunting on top of the regular UCD 
service and would like to assign a unique phone number to each
trunk in the UCD hunt group.
Could you also explain to me why overflow queuing requires H/W at 
the central office.

An engineer from Southern Bell just told me that the parameters in
ESS facility management software are generic and cannot be
customized at the central office.
I intend to use the UCD service for data traffic, and I would very
much like to use ESS facility management software to identify a
faulty line.
Two typical symptoms of a faulty line are

 1. No line usage over a long period of time.
 2. a line is being connected and disconnected too often.

The fault can be caused by a bad local loop, a bad modem or a bad FE 
port card.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance
