Running 3.3.2c1 here and seeing the same problems. Four BRIS in a
5 BRI board. Sometimes no routing, other times no service on some
lines. Two reboots in a week to get the lines working again. At
first we though it was BRI lines from the telco, but the BRIs work
fine in Symplex equipment. Its really starting to get annoying.
At first we only have two BRIs going into this, and most were nailed
up, which doesn't cause the problem. It seems to be after a high volume
of calls, the problem starts. By setting by P25 to do DBA, I can make
the BRIs just go wild (hundreds of calls for short periods). Can't
wait till we get our hunt group and these problems double...
