so what do you suggest, shall I live with those crashes ?
shall I power on the linux machine only after I've powered
on the PBX ? shall I hope then that no further non-standard
frames will arrive (which I know is not the case.

sure, the problem annot be fixed by a "generally" means. but throwing
away non 1TR6/non EDSS1 frames makes sense. one source of error
removed. as I wrote, the isdn-stack intereprets those non EDSS1
frames as if they were EDSS1. shall it continue
to do so ? I guess not !
