Thank you Krzysztof,

Please find my responses below.

Disable one E1 - by not configuring it - as far as dahdi.conf level -
it should pull an alarm on your telco friend so you will be sure that
your second E1 is his "1st" or "2nd".
Ok great. I will do that.

Yes and no. You send "block channel nr 7" and he responded "ok the 7th
is blocked" but it does not say that CIC no. 7 is 6th or 7th or 8th
timeslot on port one, or on port two of your asterisk box / sangoma
card. The block does mean that you do not place new calls on this CIC
Ok. Agreed.

You - don't. Your party - provably - has.
If he has - the CIC no 63 that it means for me - it's some misconfiguration.
 (Two E1 could take at top - two times 30 - so 60 CIC without any
signaling link, and at least one is a must).
Yes. I agree.

Carefully - setup one E1 - by configuring only one, and double check
the cables and CIC numbering.
Ok. I will call my provider again tomorrow and try what you have suggested. 
Hopefully we get it working! :)

Thank you for all your assistance so far.

The system is in another African country so instead of me physically
pulling out the E1 cable from the system I tested by 'blocking' certain CICs
Block is just "send some block info and wait for ack" as "send IAM"
etc. It does not concern any cabling/ logical CIC matching the
hardware.

in my linkset1 by using the 'ss7 block cic 1 [channel]' command. The
provider said that he could see the corresponding blocked CICs and they
appeared to match up to his CICs.

[Aug  1 20:01:21] VERBOSE[30284] chan_dahdi.c: Resetting CIC 47

Could this possibly confirm the CIC alignment problem that we suspect? I
don't have a bchan/CIC configured for 47 or 63
