In no way shape or form I was defending that behavior as acceptable, just stating some interoperability facts. One FISU each 0,75ms is continuously for 64kbps links. I still don't get it, use dahdi mtp2 kernel feature, and you should get continuous FISUs whenever the link isn't transmitting anything else.
