Good points.  What if it kept the number (so nothing "moved up"), but 
marked the channel inuse (or even better a new non working status code).

I agree that it should be a very loud error (and possibly repeated 
notifications on the console).  But I also think that it should be able 
to limp along.  What would you think of a commercial phone system that 
completely dies when one port dies?

I appreciate your points (thats why I wanted to discuss this), maybe we 
could satisfy both with an option in zapata.conf (keepgoing=yes)?

Thanks,

Jeb
