asterisk users - Mar 2004 - T100P T1 problem (Avaya -> asterisk IVR)

Hello all,
	I'm having a problem with a T1 connection to a Avaya PBX (asterisk is 
an IVR).
I could not get pri working and now I'm simply trying to get asterisk 
working with fxs_ks.

Questions:
1. Is there anyway to troubleshoot or see what is being sent on the T1.
	zttool shows no errors, and the Avaya rings the t1 if wct1xxp is 
loaded, and gives
	busy if it is not loaded -- so I think something is being sent down 
the line, I just
	don't know what it is (asterisk -vvvvvc shows nothing)

2. Is there anyone with Avaya PBX -> asterisk experience on the list?  
I'm remote, but I can
	login -- I just don't know what commands can troubleshoot the 
connection.

Config:
zaptel.conf (relevant section)
span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
fxsks=1-24

zapata.conf
[channels]
context = demo
switchtype = national
signalling = fxs_ks
group = 1
channel => 1-24

Thanks for any time and help

Depending upon the card you are using in the Avaya,  you should set it up as
a tie trunk on the Avaya side.

Hi Jeb,

Tried it both ways (and changing the Avaya, then both ways again).  No 
dice.

Another possibility is that the interface is looped back so the NET
packets it sees are the ones asterisk sends out and gets looped back

How can I see or test this?

zttool has a loop feature, but I have no idea how to use it.

To all those that have been following this thread (and helping me) -- 
it is working.

The TN767 (refurb, but I just found out) was bad. Ahhhhh.  Plugged into 
another card that went to a Shiva dialup box -- and boom, right in.

So to all trying this, I know you can set this up in no time flat (as 
long as your phone person is fast at setting up the routes).

Anyway, if you have questions, feel free to email me -- I want to pass 
on the knowledge that so many here have helped with.
