I've been having similar trouble with one of my units.  I put a UPS on the
system and it seemed to get better, but how that module fails regularly.

Incidentally, when a module dies and holds the circuit open, I can top
asterisk, unload the kernel modules, reload them, run ztcfg, and restart * w/o
restarting the system.  However, it does require * to stop and that is
annoying.

I moved my problematic phone to a different fxs module and all seems fine.  We
have a similar problem with a TDM/FXS module in a different location.

I've written digium support, but they are kinda slow in responding.
