Humm, when I moved the jacks around (trying to get the 'bad' card out  
of the loop) the machine hung.

I fear you might be right.  I used zttool a few times while the  
machine was in production.  At least once I saw the card which gets  
the most use in a 'red' state and then switch back to OK when  
activity (ringing) occured.

Sigh, looks like a hardware/driver issue that's been around for at  
least a year and a half?!  Say it isn't so. :'(
