Nik, I'm not sure that "NOP" is correct, but I'm in the states so I'll to defer to someone who knows E1/PRI. When I run zttool I have "OK" under the alarms. Is there a way you can call the telco and confirm the settings? Make sure that framing, coding and D channels are set up on their end the same way you're set up.
As for asterisk, here's what I get when I stop asterisk, restart it from the command line and then log back on to the command line: [EMAIL PROTECTED] asterisk]# safe_asterisk [EMAIL PROTECTED] asterisk]# asterisk -r Asterisk 1.2.1, Copyright (C) 1999 - 2005 Digium.
