Yes, the 3C882 ISDN modem supports Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA). With DBA, you can place or receive a voice call while a MultiLink PPP call is established. For example, if a voice call comes in while a MultiLink PPP call is established, the 3C882 ISDN modem will free one of the B channels for the voice call once you lift the telephone handset. The MultiLink PPP call is uninterrupted; however, throughput will be reduced until the second B channel is reallocated. Once you replace the telephone handset, the B channel will be restored to the MultiLink PPP call. NOTE: If you are on the receiving end of a MultiLink PPP call and you place a voice call, one of the B channels will be used for the voice call but once the voice call ends, the B channel cannot be returned to the MultiLink PPP call. The B channel can only be returned to the MultiLink PPP call if you placed the call.
