[chan-capi-users] Two calls to the same MSN on a BRI

[Jim Hickstein]

Hi, Armin! Remember this thread?

>>    BChannelinformation            = <02 00>
>> This '02' says 'neither B nor D channel is used' and chan-capi then
>> uses D-channel (ISDN#00) for this connection.
>> The second call is the same and since there only one pseudo
>> channel available, you get the warning.
>> So the question is why is this wrong bchannelinfo value signaled?

I did trade some email with Marco and he suggested I try the 8.3.1 driver.  By 
the time I got back to this, 8.5 was current, so I've done that.  The 
installation went smoothly, and it seems happy enough, up to a point.

But now, where "set verbose 5; capi debug" in Asterisk used to show me things, I 
now get nothing.

A lot is right:

Yet, when I make a call to the number on ISDN1#01, I see nothing here, where I 
used to get tons of debug output.

The BRI is good (green and amber lights on the port1 connector on the Diva; the 
http://diva:10005 thing shows "failed" incoming calls that result; layer 1 
"Activated", layer 2 "SPID Initialised").  Just nothing coming out the top of 
chan_capi.  incomingmsn=* is present.

I sense that I'm missing something simple.  What is it?
