[Asterisk-Users] zaphfc in mode TE can't dialout (dialin is OK)

[Colin Barschel]

Hello,
I am trying to use a HFC-PCI (CCD/Billion/Asuscom 2BD0) card in TE mode 
to dial-in and out with ISDN.
The problem is I can not get the card to dial out with a Zap channel. 
Dial-in is working. I am using bri-stuff 0.1.0-RC4 (but tried also RC3 
and RC2k). I tried all combination of "immediate", "overlapdial", 
"pridialplan". I earlier also managed to dial out with the latest mISDN 
and chan_misdn, but it was unstable and linux crashed on any dial-in. So 
I think I would rather use zaphfc.
As one can see in the BRI debug below, I tried to call ext 21 from ext 
25, the ISDN error (44) is "Requested channel not available" and 
asterisk immediately hangup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Colin

P.S. lots of info following
Here the important configs and info

- Kernel 2.6.5
- zaptel.ko and zaphfc.ko loaded without options
- I am very new to asterisk :o)
