No, but it happens to me as well, running 5.0Ap36. Since it's happening
on a Max 2000 (and there is only one PRI in the area) I don't really
definitely know if it is the line or the box. I kind of suspect the box,
because a reboot always fixes it.
My temporary hack is to have a modem dial the MAX's number every so often
(15 minutes is what I'm using, but doesn't have to be) and see if it gets
a connect or a busy. If it gets a busy then it pages me. Then I get to
check and see if 1) all the lines are legitimately busy and 2) If not,
whether I want to kick everybody off and reset the system.
(an automatic reset is not an option, since I also suffer from a bug
wherein the Max will not re-establish its default route after a reboot,
forcing me to reset the route manually. As you can imagine power failures
really disrupt the works...)
