Problems : PM3 connected to DMS-100

Hi,

We have a PM3-2E1 (3.5c6) with 2 x PRI connected to our telco's Nortel
DMS-100 Switch. We have 4 10 port DSP cards. The first PRI is purely for
our modem pool with the second used for dedicated lines.

On the first PRI we have NEVER seen more than 23 ports connected. I know
this is standard for T1 style US PRI but we are EuroISDN (30 Channel)
with ALL channels turned on.

I am now getting concerned that maybe the DMS-100 code in the PM3
doesn't allow more than 23 ports per PRI to be used. As almost every day
the 23rd port is being hit but never any more than that which would seem
an amazing coincidence.

I did see a comment a few weeks ago on the list, where someone was
saying he had never seen all 30 ports used on a DMS-100. If this is the
case, whose bug is it ???

As we are paying the telco for those 7 channels it would be nice to use
them :-(

Cheers
