    I'm still properly learning R2D, I know ISDN and ISUP well. go
    figure.<br>
    <br>
    It seems the proper way to troubleshoot is to compare mfcr2 show
    channels with dahdi_tool, if the bits match and are both corrupt,
    then its not a openr2 bug, but something hardware/driver related. If
    the bits are in mismatch, then its an openr2 issue. I just thought
    about the dahdi_tool now, as I never used it with R2 before, just
    with T1 channel banks. Since the incorrect bits are received, if
    they show up on dahdi_tool, then it can't be the fault of openr2
    generating improper signalling output.<br>
    <br>
    I think I'll wait until it happens again, and then do the
    comparison. I'll report back.<br>

        Sure. I'll test it. Are you confident no changes were made that
        could fix this from 1.3.1 -&gt; 1.3.2 ? I just upgraded, not
        enough time to notice if this is fixed.<br>
        <br>
        Could this be a TDM card driver bug ? How does the DAHDI driver
        passes CAS bit changes to userland (change notifications, or
        userland constantly polls the bits and compare with the prior
        value) ? Perhaps could the driver be failing to pass changes in
        the bits to userland right after the alarm clears, keeping some
        corrupted state read during the alarm. Its interesting that 80+%
        of times this happens, only 3-6 channels get blocked with 0xC.<br>

              Frequently, after we get an alarm and the alarm clears,
              some or all channels are left with Rx CAS 0xC state.<br>
              Reloading dahdi solves the issue, but it's extremely
              undesirable since this condition might leave no channels
              or very few channels in operable state for usage until
              restarting dahdi (and restarting dahdi kills all active
              dahdi calls). I just upgraded to OpenR2 1.3.2, but I saw
