I was doing VICIDIAL capacity testing on this server with a quad
processor(dual core) server, so the load was high and the call volume
was also very high, not a good comparison to what you are doing.

I have handled more than 100 concurrent channels before with two
quad-T1 cards in a singl P4 3.2GHz server before with no issues, So I
don't really know why you would be having issues with more than 63
channels on a similar machine.

What does "top" show when this happens?
