[asterisk-users] Problem with modem data calls and xorcom astribanks

[Col Ferguson]

Hello Tzafrir,
Yes the trunk is an FXO port in the astribank

One astribank is 32 FXS ports, and one is 24 FXS and 8 FXO ports.

Just in case it makes a difference, the testing I am doing is with the modem
plugged in to the same astribank as the FXO ports.

Zap/69 is an FXO port and Zap/67 is an FXS port

Thanks,
Col
