[asterisk-dev] /dev/zap/(channel no) ends on 255 and unable to make more

Guys,

In a system with more than 8xE1 it's impossible to access  
to /dev/zap/(channel no) channels higher than 255. ZAPTEL 
Makefile generates only 255 instances and adjusting 
Makefile to be generating more of them, makes any nodes 
over 255 to be anyway dead (attempt to access returns (for 
instance 256's node) "Cannot open "256" No such device or 
address (6)" error. If someone could please give a clue how 
to make them accessible, it will be highly appreciated. Is 
it a linux limitation or just a variable in Zaptel sources? 
Please help.

Thanks in advance,
Anton.
