Caveat:
Currently, the NFAS code does not retain calls when the primary
D channel drops out. So, if you lose your primary D channel,
all calls are dropped and the secondary channel goes into service.
Livingston is working on a fix for this.
Msen has no experience with the DCBU. The Single-channel NFAS
works fine (at least on a single chassis) on the pre-b8 beta
with a few minor but critical problems. (D channel wont come
up after reboot or telco drops the channel with a reset D0).
I am somewhat concerned that NFAS across multiple chassis may
have similar problems to the MCPPP issue I reported recently.
Again, caveat.
Msen is operating on a previous beta that used the 3.8 modem code.
We wont upgrade to the next version until the modem code has been
fixed. The slight (but necessary) fixes in NFAS between what we're
running now and the current beta don't justify pissing a large
segment of our customers by running buggy(er) modem code.
