Actually, all that setting does is disable the tone, and not the call
waiting - You still get a visual indication on the phone's screen of
the waiting call.

I contacted Aastra, who were very helpful. The upshot was that you
need to use the "call-limit" setting in your SIP configuration of
Asterisk.

Thanks for the pointer :). Shame it is focused on the one phone, and
does not cover the other models :(
