I am getting the following error in asterisk logs: Sep 11 17:33:30 NOTICE[2187] chan_zap.c: PRI got event: HDLC Bad FCS (8) on Primary D-channel of span 1 Sep 11 21:45:08 NOTICE[2187] chan_zap.c: PRI got event: HDLC Bad FCS (8) on Primary D-channel of span 1 Sep 11 23:57:26 NOTICE[2187] chan_zap.c: PRI got event: HDLC Bad FCS (8) on Primary D-channel of span 1 Sep 12 01:59:01 NOTICE[2187] chan_zap.c: PRI got event: HDLC Bad FCS (8) on Primary D-channel of span 1 Sep 12 03:52:31 NOTICE[2187] chan_zap.c: PRI got event: HDLC Bad FCS (8) on Primary D-channel of span 1 Sep 12 04:32:41 NOTICE[2187] chan_zap.c: PRI got event: HDLC Abort (6) on Primary D-channel of span 1 The result is that when someone phones, the call gets disrupted, and sometimes it breaks. I wonder if this was fixed in the latest releases of asterisk.

This error message means there was corrupted data received from the card. This can be caused by many things. The T-1/E-1 could be having errors, there could be a bad SmartJack (the telco box on your wall), it can also be cause by lost or delayed interrupts. As you can see below your T-1/E-1 card is sharing an IRQ with your Ethernet card. This is a Very Bad Thing. Digium cards and drivers have gotten much better at sharing interrupts, but I think it is still a bad idea to have two devices that generate many interrupts on the same IRQ. Try moving the card to a different slot.
