Hi Steve,

The incominglimit applies to both incoming and outgoing calls, so long as
I'm on the phone, any incoming call gets sent to voicemail. Use the "sip
show inuse" on the CLI to check the inuse counter is being incremented when
on a call, whether receiving or outgoing.

Is anybody else having this problem ?
