It appears to limmit the number of outgoing calls from that phone and 
independantly the number of inoming calls.

So a phone can make an outgoing call, and still take an incoming call, and 
vice-versa, with call-limit=1

I also found early versions of this buggy in that it didn't seem to 
properly decrement the counter on hang-up, so is call-limit was set to 3, 
then that phone could only take 3 calls, one after the other, before it 
would be premenantly busyd, but this was a long time back, and it might 
have been something I was foing, but since then I always turned 
call-waiting off on the phones when users didn't want multiple call 
features.
