Hi I am running a massive 100 E1 lines over SS7, distributed over 7 boxes with only 2 signaling links. I am trying to get mtp3d and chan_ss7 work for 2 signaling links across 7 boxes. When I run mtp3d, I get this debian:~# mtp3d Using /etc/asterisk for config directory Apr 30 03:22:35 [NOTICE] config.c:804 load_config_link Configured link 'l1' on linkset 'siuc', firstcic=1 Apr 30
