asterisk users - Jan 2006 - No IN and OUT on ISDN line at the same

I have tested it several times now and always entered "capi info"
before and after the call.
The answer was always:

Contr1: 2 B channels total, 2 B channels free.

I'm currently alone in the office, no incoming/outgoing faxes, no
incoming/outgoing calls.
Is there a chance for me to figure out who or what is using the other B channel
while the call is coming in?

Thanks for your help,

Ralf

Okay, that means that Asterisk/chan_capi isn't using a channel at that time.
But it does not know about other programs or even other devices on the ISDN 
bus.
When the call is coming in, are you sure you don't try to forward it
to more than one CAPI destinations? For each destination, one channel
is needed, even if the call is not accepted.

A dchannel trace might show something.

This could be a context issue, I had to fuss with mine to get the
channels working independently too.

I'll try to post the examples tomorrow, way to tired now :).
