[asterisk-users] CHANUNAVAIL with a TDM800 card

[hin lee]

Thanks for the asterisk restart command.  That saved me a few minutes during each test.  As for the genzaptelconf command, it creates zaptel.conf and zapata-auto.conf but not the zaptel-channels.conf.  Zaptel-channels.conf is blank and doesn't work until I manually add a channel to it.  Thanks for all your responses.

root at pbx:/ $ genzaptelconf
