[Asterisk-Users] Limiting number of channels or calls

I have test it between two Cisco 7960 with FWD and it works.. but.. do not
forget that FWD is just a SIP proxy, it only handles signalization then the
call is done directly between the two phones (not like asterisk does).
The best results I get over slow links is with G.723 between 2 Netmeetings,
