As always YMMV. The result is affected to a great extent by provisioning. Which is obvious and yet hasn't been mentioned. One way causes a call setup request to be sent even though the switch knows that there are no available B channels, which permits the terminal to make it's own decision as to the disposition of the call, e.g., refuse it with cause code 17 which _should_ cause some switch in the call path (the originating one usually) to generate a normal busy tone.
