asterisk users - May 2010 - nortel meridian question

Hi all,

I have asterisk 1.4.26 (and I tried 1.4.29) connected PRI all 23 lines 
and for the
most part everything works. Dialing out on 23 lines to phones works fine.

I have to use the Local channel to call the intercom system (from call 
files).
If I only call 1 intercom system at a time so it uses DAHDI/1 everything 
seems to
work as I can call all 8 intercom systems and play a message.

The issue comes when I wish to dial all 8 intercom systems at the same time.
The only one that works is what every system I am calling on DAHDI/1 all
other fail.

The nortel switch gives "Cause #63" which I think is just a generic
error.
The dial looks correct in the nortel logs.

Any thoughts on the issue here?

My first thought would be to check the configuration of the individual 
trunk members on the Nortel side.  In particular TGAR, NCOS and CLS. It 
sounds like there is a difference between member 1 and all the other 
members.

In ld 20, do a tnb on each trunk on that pri.
