I don't know.  The AMI (Asterisk Manager Interface), accessed via a TCP 
connection to port 5038, has some known problems with many connections 
to AMI.  Fortunatly, someone wrote a very cool proxy for the Asterisk 
Manager Interface.  If you look at the messages in the Asterisk-users 
and Asterisk-dev mailing lists you should see information about.

The command "asterisk -rx command" does NOT use the Asterisk Manager 
Interface, it connects to a local unix socket and basically emulates the 
Asterisk CLI.
