We had a line that would, several times a night, dump all 24 calls, go to RA, then YA, then come back up and work until it was loaded up again... then the same thing would happen. In syslog we just saw "Line 3 Channel 0 Trunk Up" messages. Telco said for MONTHS it had to be our crappy, non-standard, weird equipment. Finally they came out and installed a T-BERD with a printer to log errors overnight. In the morning there was about 20' of paper piled around it. An hour or so later, Lo and behold! They found a card at the CO optioned for B8ZS instead of AMI. Sigh. Now it works fine. All I have to do now is fight over the billing for several months of defective operation.
