[Asterisk-Users] *, Fritz!PCI and strange behavior

[Florian Overkamp]

Hi Cees, 

I have a similar setup, I don't use zaprtc on that machine though, it also
has a X100P to deal with timings.

This I have not seen myself.

I have seen this too. Freakishly enough rebooting the machine is not good
enough, but leaving it powered down for a night works good too - it saves
the cable trick ;-)

Still, I too would like to know what causes this, but I have no idea where
to start on it...

Wait another while for KPJ to finish the ZapBRI stuff ? :-) By the way,
X100P's work like a charm for this, except for dutch callerid...
