[asterisk-users] sip show channels - gives a growing list of dead channels

[Keith Hardee]

I am using Asterisk 1.4.18 with 70 various Polycoms, 12 analog, and 18
Spectralink wireless IP phones.

Most of the Spectralink phones have entries in 'sip show channels'
that do not go away.  None of the other phones do this.

Is there anyway to remove these entries without restarting Asterisk?

Any ideas on what could be done to prevent this?
