[Asterisk-Dev] Problem with too many files open

[Derek Smithies]

Hi,
 I think the latest version of the code from Michael Mansous goes some way 
to fix this problem.


Now, can you tell us how many H.323 calls you are handling concurrently?
can you tell us how many H.323 calls have been completed?


Oh, did you try the H.323 channel that comes with asterisk by default - 
the one written by Jeremy McNamara. 



Thanks for any information you can supply,
 
 Derek.
