There are a couple of things that come to mind: 1) the max is not hash-coded correctly. Check on the status window, for the enabled features. 2) some maxes were hash-coded to disable the use of S56 modems. 3) I'm not sure whether E1-R2 needs it, but if the max can't determine the type of call, it will assume that it is a digital call. If E1-R2 doesn't tell the MAX the type of call, then you need to force it by specifying 'Slot=3' on each and every one of the E1 channels. Beware though that this setup prevents you from taking analog and digital calls. If you are going to take analog and digital calls, you need a true PRI line.
