[asterisk-users] call limit

[Nicholas Blasgen]

Setting call-limit=1 in sip.conf will limit the number of incomming (and
outgoing?) channels on your SIP device to the number you specifiy (1 in this
case).  If you want to allow more outgoing, but only 1 incomming, you could
do that with some GROUP() checking.  Problem is that when there isn't an
available channel, Asterisk will return CHANUNAVIABLE or something like
that.  It's not very helpful.  GROUP() checking will allow you to provide a
more informative answer to the person who's calling.
