Changing the framing on the remote side from non-crc4 to crc4 (to match the
local ISP) solved the problem.

As I've said before, I don't know anything about E1s, but I would be
suspicious of the "speed 64". It wasn't all that long ago that a 64K
channel on a T1 was the exception. I have no idea whether E1s support 64K
channels or not. Even if they do, there may be a link in the middle
somewhere that doesn't.

I'm pretty sure if you change to AMI you will also have to change to 56K.
If I recall correctly, with AMI you need the signalling bits to maintain 1s
density, hence only 56K. It's been a while, so I may be wrong about this.
