[asterisk-users] pstn hangs up: MWI no message waiting ??

[Danny Nicholas]

So "Zap restart" is a worse hack than restarting *?  What DAHDI does that
Zaptel doesn't -
1. Makes Digium lawyers happy
2. Gives Developers headaches
3. Makes Coffee and soft drink manufacturers happy since we need so much
caffine.
4. Make priests happy since we have to go to confession about it.

Sounds like an awful hack.  What does DAHDI do that Zaptel does not?
Sounds more like a post for the bugs list....
