[Asterisk-Users] Quad BRI and OctoBRI

[George Konstantoulakis]

Hello Niksa,
are you using OctoBRI ? If yes does it work ok ?
I just switched our company's asterisk box from quadBRI to octoBRI and
I am experiencng problems with our DDI ISDN Lines  (works fine with 
non-DDI lines)...
Sometimes it just stops working , I get "CHANUNAVAIL" ...

I am using bristuff-0.2.0-rc2b, on a Debian system with 2.4.26 kernel.
