;-)  I notice this sometimes when the first is down, the second line 
sometimes fails to clear the *.  I know the lines are fine, since it
all works Ok, so it's just a display glitch.   Use them in order 1->2
and it dosn't happen.

I never reported it... it's not a problem nor does it show up except in
really rare circumstances.  I just reproduced it now, I have 19 *s and
13 active sessions, and no bonded ISDN lines.  

This happened because when I rebooted the second syncronised before the
first.  So if calls are coming onto the second PRI and the first is
unavailable, or unused, they get stuck.  (Who knows, perhaps the display
for PRI 1 is getting cleared instead.  Wierd though.)

It's confirmed, since I'm back up to 40 odd sessions with some bonding
already.   debug->avm also shows the appropriate number of modems, so
thats not causing it.

Ok, I don't remember you (Kevin) posting about it, but I did notice it as
a footnote from someone else.  (Jason Nealis perhaps?) It's an oddity, no
more. 

The swap PRI thing was my idea... since it seems to happen most frequently
when 1 is idle and 2 is active, just switch the order and it should
be happier.  At least I don't notice "ghost stars" on my max in the
mornings when the load drops back down.
