 You might get more help or better behavior by updating to a newer more
 current version of Asterisk, such as 1.8 which will be receiving bug fixes
 into October 2014.

 Hi,
 I have a PSTN Asterisk box that's connected to other dialplan PBXes
 through IAX2.

 Recently this box was upgraded to 1.4.44 with the latest DAHDI version.
 I've noticed that if one of the dialplan PBXes calls Congestion(), the PRI
 will return ISDN code 34 (as its supposed to do).
 However, the issue is that subsequent calls into that PRI channel are
 immediately responded by a Code 44 (channel not available) even though
 there is no live call on the channel.

 Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Its a pretty crippling
 behavior since all of our channels eventually become unresponsive until a
 'dahdi restart' is issued.

 Thanks.

I believe that what you are describing is a very old bug, which is fixed
somewhere in the 1.8 timeline when the interface between DAHDI and Asterisk
is changed slightly. I encountered the same issue some time ago. I do not
recall the exact conditions under which the issue happens, but I believe it
is the attempt to cancel an unanswered inbound call with a specific subset
of cause codes.

If you are using an older Asterisk version, the only workaround is to use
Playtones + Hangup() instead of sending the Congestion() or Busy() cause
codes.

Regards,
Steve

 Thanks Steve.
It must have been introduced between DAHDI 2.4.0 and 2.6.1 or between
Asterisk 1.4.35 and 1.4.44.
I had a box running Asterisk 1.4.35 + DAHDI 2.4.0 and I never had any
issues.
