Most of layer 1 problems we have are caused by the bus behind the ISDN
network terminator, but we also have very big problems with network
layer problems inside the Telekom (german ISDN provider). They often
re-configure or re-load new software versions into their ISDN switches,
causing some configuration information to get lost..
And: One of our customers had some leased lines to connect spreaded
offices (the Telekom offers permanent connections over ISDN), one of it
is routed under railroad tracks, and if two trains passed each other over
the wire: the connection is teared down, the swich crashes, one end
is informed about the tear down, the other end not, and more bad things
happen. Every working day, 11:30.
