RE: [nsp] 2nd BRI call problem

I would think that the " dialer load-threshold 1 either" will cause both BRI
B channels to be always busy when the link is up.
That statment says when the first B channel reaches 1/255 usage, which would
be immediately, the second B channel should connect.

Isn't the first B channel BRI1/0:0, anyhow? You mentioned that a call was
already placed on BRI1/0:1, which would support my suspicion about both
BRI1/0 B channels having called the other router.

Subject: [nsp] 2nd BRI call problem

Hello. We have 3 BRI interfaces on two routers named coast and summit.
When trying to place a call from coast to summit, the first call
completes, but when the second call is placed (to the same dialer string),
I get a busy error message. I thought since there is an available B
channel on that same BRI interface on summit, that the second B-channel
should connect. For testing purposes, I had summit call coast, and this
worked correctly, with both B-channels on coast connecting when the same
dialer string was called.

I am suspicious of the ISDN switches between both my routers which are
PacBell and Verizon. Is there anything I can do to narrow down where the
busy signal is coming from?

Below you will find some debug output that contains the busy error and
also the configuration of coast and summit.

Thanks for the help,
