I have had a couple thunderstorms take out a card, again last night. The card with "dahdi show status" still report OK both times. When calling into the card I get all circuits are busy. However, simply replacing the card did the trick. Before that I stopped asterisk, restarted DAHDI, rebooted all those... The card always reported OK with show status. Only after replacing the card did it start to work again. I am running 1.4.42 asterisk, 2.4.1.2 DAHDI and libpri 1.4.12. So I am surprised that asterisk was not reporting the status as something other that OK - also that 2 cards have gone bad "seemingly" related to thunderstorms. Any thoughts? Jerry

I have found in the past that a card can get in a state that just a reset is insufficient to clear, but that a power cycle does make it work again.
