[asterisk-users] PRI: sometimes Asterisk drop calls

[Giorgio Incantalupo]

Hi,
thanks to all
I solved the calls dropped problem, it was "resetinterval" parameter in 
zapata.....now asterisk does not drop calls anymore.
I do not get the message:

WARNING[3503] chan_zap.c: Got restart ack on channel 0/6 span 1 with owner

anymore...but I get all the others.
I'm interested to understand why I many messages like:

WARNING[21314] chan_zap.c: Ring requested on channel 0/1 already in use 
on span 1.  Hanging up owner

How can a channel be already in use??? That means the channel is 
busy...if it is so then it is all right...but maybe that shouldn't be a 
warning but a notice or something else...should it?


TIA
