Description:there are two general issues with Asterisk at a first glance:
- the tiny issue is that facility selector 6 is used to switch on the
echo canceller. Facility selector 8 should be used instead. In our
procucts we implemented the LEC as facility selector 6 first, but the
CAPI association approved 8 because the 6 was allocated by the CAPI
Broadband Extension. We adapted it meanwhile.

- it seems that Asterisk doesn't make use of the delivery confirmation
for transparent data (see DATA_B3_REQ, delivery confirmation flag). This
delivery confirmation is a way to control the queue size for outgoing
data and thus to keep a short delay on a connection. For links between
ISDN cards this is no issue since they all follow the ISDN clock. But as
soon as data from another clock source is involved the ISDN card would
buffer data and cause long delays. The delivery confirmation bit just
causes the DATA_B3_CONF to be indicated when the last byte of the data
block has been sent to the line. The queue size then corresponds to the
DATA_B3_REQ's pending at that moment.

Can you provide a patch for either of these issues?
