Hmm. If async+isdn=total then there is no need to store total. You can 
calculate it later.

I would propose:

rrdtool graph speed.gif  --start -1day -t "Call Sessions"	\
	--vertical-label Calls					\
	DEF:async=call-stats.rrd:async:LAST			\
	DEF:isdn=call-stats.rrd:isdn:LAST			\
	CDEF:total=calls=isdn,async,+				\
	AREA:async=#FF0000:Async				\
	GPRINT:async:LAST:async:LAST:"Last \:%4.0lf"		\
	AREA:isdn=#0000FF:ISDN					\
	GPRINT:isdn:LAST:isdn:LAST:"Last \:%4.0lf"		\
	LINE1:total=#000000:Total				\
	GPRINT:total:LAST:total:LAST:"Last \:%4.0lf"		\

Two area's stacked on top of one another and topped of by a line.

Pretty much the way I do on my CPU graphs on
