asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Bristuff 0.20RC3 loses connectivity after short line interruption?

I installed bristuff0.20-RC3 (which includes * 1.0.3 stable)

It works fine until I disconnect the phone jack for the ISDN line. Even 
after plug it back in asterisk still reports that it could not create a 
zap channel when I try to dial out and the line gives an engaged tone when 
I try to dial.

Re-starting asterisk doesn't solve this, I have to stop asterisk, unload 
the modules, reload the modules and start asterisk again.

I assume this is a bug, not a feature (should I e-mail it to Junghanns 
directly??)?

I know the telco here in holland and I will lose the line for a short 
period every once in a while and it's annoying when the line doesn't
come
back up.

Or did I forget some setting to recover from such a situation?

Thanks!

Same thing here,
I am using bristuff0.20-RC2b with an octoBRI card.
It only happens with DDI lines. With normal ISDN lines I don't have a 
problem.
Which card are you using ?

We have 2 HFC-S cards.
We have a very simular problem here.
restarting * means no more outgoing calls.
I first have to unload the modules, load them again and start asterisk.
plugging/unplugging cables from the cards dont give any problems here.
I fixed the asterisk reloading thing by altering the /etc/init.d/asterisk
script.

OT: I have the kernel oops messages when unloading the module like described on
voip-info.org

Tomorrow (monday) I will post my kernel oops messages together with my dmesg to
Junghanns.
I have noticed I cannot use the init.d script more then 1 or 2 times before the
server dies completely. Prolly cause of the half unloaded module.

Remco: I have simply connected the 2 NT1 boxes with a cat5 utp cable to the 2
HFC cards.
There were cables in it that went into our very old Panasonic box. Simply
unplugging those  and repatching them on the pathpanel so they are directly
connected did the trick here. We have been using this setup for a couple of
business days now and all worked ok.

Let me know if this works for you too.
