[asterisk-dev] Asterisk 1.6.1 branch and deprecated "call-limit" setting in sip.conf / device state / hints

[Olle E. Johansson]

Check the new "callcounter" option.

;callcounter = yes              ; Enable call counters on devices.  
This can be set per
                                 ; device too.



The call-limit option is still valid, but i did separate the two. One  
for turning on call states (where we need a call counter) and another  
for actually enforcing a limit.
