This is not a problem, or at least working as intended. Asterisk restarts 
all idle lines once an hour. This helps if the state machines on either 
end of the isdn link gets out of sync, thinking an idle line is not idle.

However, some pieces of equipment do no like these resets and drop all 
lines and not only those requested in the restart message. The interval 
can be adjusted with the "resetinterval" parameter in zapata.conf. To 
disable the resets it can be set to a huge value.
