[Asterisk-bsd] IRQ or timing problem with HFC-4S

[Oliver Schneider]

Hello,

I just upgraded my Asterisk machine from two single HFC-S to one HFC-4S.
Before the upgrade everything worked fine, an uptime for 100 days was no
problem. 

My config is:
FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE
asterisk - 12-1.2.17 (yes I know, some old fashioned and unsecure, but I
haven't read about an attack over the ISDN bus)
i4b - ISDN4BSD, version 1.6.0, compiled May 23 2007 19:57:30
one external EURO ISDN line (normal consumer ISDN line)
one internal ISDN line connected to the HFC-4S in NT mode
Siemens Gigaset 3035 ISDN phone with 3 mobile handsets to HFC-4S

After 3 -24 h (the server is not used very heavy) the ISDN phone cannot
establish any new calls. It does net get a free signal on the line at
all. I had this problem with the two other controllers also when the NT
adapter had to share an IRQ with another device ( Ithink it was the
sound card). After switching NT and TE adapter in the isdnconfig /
chan_capi.conf, the system was very reliable and stable. I think the
period of time till the ISDN phone is "disconnected", is as faster as
more handsets are connected the Gigaset.

I already tried the TE port first (unit 8) and to use the poll_mode on
the NT port. I have no idea anymore what to do, for using one HFC-4S
port as NT port.

thanks
Oliver
