I have seen this before.  In the ITU SS7 specs, there are two types of 
exchanges (in reference to bringing them up for the first time).  There 
are exchanges that require a reset of the circuits when you bring the 
link up (Type A) and there are those that require no such reset before 
starting to make calls (Type B).  I think perhaps a next logical step is 
to see what happens when you try to place a call out on the link.
