I need to see how our trunk utilisation is being used [as in how busy the trunks get over a period.

How do I see the results on the maintenance form?

Start Time (HH:MM) 07 00
Stop Time (HH:MM) 18 00

Login to your system via telnet.
From maintenance type "cat info *.traffic"
This will show you what files are available to view.
Now you can enter "type *.traffic.<file>" and it will display your traffic.

Thanks Ralph - worked a treat. I now need to learn how to read it!

Total earlangs for this period was 71.07

Check this for information on erlang:

Here's a rule of thumb I use for reading erlangs (faulty as it may be)

1 erlang is equivalent to roughly 100% of available time.
If the earlang is .67 then that would be the equivalent of 67% of 1 hour for 1 trunk.
