After setting the Switch type, you *have* to set the SPID and DN on
the BRI-ports. Just do

set s10 spid 0
set s10 dn 0
save s10
reset s10 (or reboot, if still NO-SERVICE)

It should work then. Please note that the 5BRI and the OR-ST are very
sensitive concerning cable length and bus termination on the S0-bus.
The cable to the NT should not be longer than 3 meters, if you want
more, use shielded cable types!
Another point: often the ISDN ports fail on the physical layer if
other ISDN devices are connected to the same S0 bus.
