Hey!  I thought I had replied to your message already, but there goes 
again.  You can turn on debug by the "ss7 debug linket x" command at 
the console.  It will give you some debug output that is useful.  Also, 
you can try the ss7linktest program that is in the libss7 directory to 
get a verbose debug output of what is happening on link initialization. 
  You can change your point code selection on the real system in the 
zapata.conf.  pointcode is the local point code, adjpointcode is the 
point code used in the SLTM messages, and defaultdpc is the point code 
used as the destination for ISUP (layer4) messages.
