Actually it does tell me a lot.  

The problem appears in how the interface chip is being programmed.  
For some reason, the interface chip is not being set to on-hook 
transfer mode which would allow for the mwi spill to go out on the 
actual fxs port lines.  

I am looking to see where the problem lies. (It is either in chan_dahdi 
or in the driver.)   I hope to have more information later.
