[asterisk-users] queue members randomly become paused after upgrade to Asterisk 1.4

Hi Mark,

I assure my queues.conf is full of autopause = no, in the singles and 
general contexts (I'm not sure where to put it 'cause I found no docs 
about it).
Moreover, this morning I checked my Asterisk with "show queues" and I 
found another surprise:

      SIP/17 with penalty 1 (paused) (Not in use) has taken no calls yet
      SIP/50 with penalty 1 (paused) (Unavailable) has taken no calls yet

How can an unavailable phone (it is not connected on LAN) be paused??? 
So I wonder...what is the rule that makes a phone "paused", then?
Another thing I do not understand...when I restart Asterisk, my bunch of 
disconnected phones have different status....IAX phones are marked with 
Invalid while SIP are marked with Unavailable...why? What's the difference?
The mystery goes on....

Ah..I forgot to say I do not use agents but only static queues, no real 
time stuff.

Giorgio
