Not to say that this isn't the cause of his problems when using 3.7, but
I've got at least 3 PM3's that I know of that have PRI's in them with no
switch type set. They've been up for over 100 days running 3.5.1b8
configured this way. There has to be some type of default that the PM3
goes to if it senses ISDN PRI's and nothing is set for the switch type. I
am betting it defaults to a 5ESS switch type. I've been meaning to ask
what causes this but have been busy with other things.
