Sorry for the noise guys, but I'm still having trouble with this.  I
don't know a whole lot about T1/ISDN/PRI configuration (obviously),
but I'm finding it hard coming to terms with this being a
configuration issue on the provider's end when two cards (a TE405P and
a TE410P) work flawlessly with the same exact configuration.  The
provider explains that their tests from their equipment to the mux is
fine and that they can't go further than that.  I tend to believe them
since there are no issues on aforementioned cards...the issue only
occurs when trying to connect the new card (a T133 -- 1x PCI-e in a
rackmount server using a 16x riser, this shouldn't be an issue if my
hardware knowledge is worth anything, heh).

Still trying to trace down and see if there can be some sort of
cabling issue between the new box and the PRI port, but so far haven't
come across everything.

Could this at all have to do with brand-new hardware (TE133 was just
release, if I'm not mistaken) and/or some bug in the new dahdi (I used
dahdi-linux-complete-2.7.0+2.7.0)?  Also, the system is 64-bit CentOS,
and so I've had to place files in /usr/lib64 -- for instance, all
asterisk modules are in "/usr/lib64/asterisk/modules"...asterisk was
configured with "./configure CFLAGS=-mtune=native --libdir=/usr/lib64
&& make menuselect".  Libpri-1.4 was build from source as well, the
files for it in /usr/lib64 are symlinks:

[root at asterisk-master ~]# ll /usr/lib64/libpri.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 2 09:12 /usr/lib64/libpri.so ->
/usr/lib/libpri.so.1.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 2 09:32 /usr/lib64/libpri.so.1.4 ->
/usr/lib/libpri.so.1.4

I thought this might be an issue, so I did try installing the 64-bit
rpm, but the same issue occurred after having rebuilt dahdi and
asterisk.


I'm really trying to think outside the box and see if there's any
other possibilities here...I'm at my wits end, as you might imagine :/
