asterisk users - Sep 2004 - Non-PRI T1 showing red

Could anyone with any experience with * over a non-PRI T1 help this newbie?
I have a fractional T1 that is working fine through a channel bank, but I
can't get any response on * using a T400P. My analog line and the extensions
work fine, but the T400P port 1 shows a red led (what exactly does that tell
me?). I brought up zttool which shows a condition red also, but ztcfg shows
nothing amiss.  There is no change when I unplug the cable to the T1 or
re-insert it.  When I load * it gives no error messages, at least none that
appear to be such to me.  I've looked thru all the related wiki info that I
can find but I'm stumped.

I am loading the drivers in the following order:

modprobe zaptel
modprobe tor2
modprobe wcfxo
modprobe wcfxs

Here's my configs in simplified form:

On my E100P, a flashing red LED meant that there was no connection to
the ISDN.  When I switched the cable to a proper E1 cross over cable,
everything was fine.
