Talking about support (or lack thereof) of channel bundling, I believe I'm
bitten by what I consider to be a bug^H^H^Hunnecessary feature...

I'm using isp0 to connect with a cisco (which *has* to initiate the call,
since it cannot receive calls due to the configuration of the PBX). I do
not have the option to use PPP encapsulation, and the damn thing keeps
trying to establish a 2nd B after about 10 minutes of >60kbps! If the 2nd
B is busy, it fails and tries again every 5 minutes, but if it's not, i4b
answers a 2nd call for isp0 while the 1st is allready taking place, thus
screwing things up pretty badly - I have to put the interface down and up
again for packets to flow again :(

Unfortunately I cannot change the behaviour of the cisco, but considering the
fact that i4b does not support channel bundling, wouldn't it be a good idea
if it rejected a call for an interface that has one allready in place?
I could live with rejecting a call every 5 minutes.

It shouldn't be hard to add this functionality, but I tried to do it and
failed miserably since I don't know my way around the i4b source tree.
Perhaps someone could consider making this minor change or point out to
me a good place to start in the source tree.

TIA,

K. Konstantinidis
