We had a pop that was fed by an ISDN line in the little town of Sturgis
SD. About 2 weeks before the Big motorcycle ralley the ISDN link would go
berserk every evening about 7pm. One of the B channels would drop and I
could dial it from the other one but I could not get that channel to call
out of town. I could call it from the NOC and once I did this it would
usually come back to life. It was the strangest thing. Called in a
Trouble Ticket with USWest and after several days of head scratching the
tech saw it go down and told me the reason. They had insufficient
trunking between Sturgis and Rapid City. When it got full it would
randomly drop connections including long distance connections to allow new
ones to connect. We ordered a Frame and canceled the ISDN. The problems
went away the day after the Ralley ended and never came back before we
brought up the frame. Your problem may be completely different.
