I would suggest updating DAHDI. We moved from svn to git years ago and
that repository is not maintained.

This is fine. I would only worry about sharing irqs with hardware that
would compete for interrupt time, like a network controller or disk
controller.

3 slips a minute is too high. You'll likely hear audio artifacts like
clicks or pops if you were listening to audio on the line.
This may give you a bit more info on acceptable slip rates.

HDLC aborts are a symptom of timing slips, typically.

If you're legitimately recovering timing from the network properly,
then I would look at what the upstream provider is doing. Your
provider should be able to run long term loop/pattern tests to your
smartjack to determine link quality issues.
