asterisk users - Jun 2004 - TE405P PRI B-channel resets

I understand from the archives that * does this occassionally, but I'm
trying
to figure out why.

* didn't do this at all for two days, and then it's gone and done it 3
times
in the past hour.  It does not seem to be affecting calls, I'm just curious 
as to the reasoning behind the B channel resets and why they are so erratic.

Regards,
Andrew

I'll admit that due to my experience with asterisk, I have seen this
question enough to look deeper.

In channels/chan_zap.c you will find this.
#define RESET_INTERVAL  3600    /* How often (in seconds) to reset unused
channels */

If memory serves, Mark noticed this behavior on an adtran unit and
mimicked it. It should only affect idle B channels.
