We have 4 RAS lines working in NT 4.0 and granted some users for dial-in permission. My question is, Is there any way we can configure the RAS so that it will dedicate 2 lines or exclusive only for specific users (managers) while the rest of the users use the remaining 2. In short, we would want some users to grant dial in only on 2 lines and not all the 4 lines. Thanks.

You could set the managers that you want to use specific lines to dial into those lines. Or another idea is to set the dial-in permission to dial those managers back on a specific line.

You could contact your phone company and have the 2 linesthat you want the managers to use set up in a "Hunt Group." Likewise on the remaining two lines that you want everyone else to use. A "hunt" group rolls multiple lines to the next available by calling one line. I.e. call 555-1234, it's busy but rolls to 555-2345 or any other non-busy line in the hunt group. The cost for a "hunt" group is usually pretty cheap.
