Yes, you can narrow it down. One port will be required for each leg of a call. So if sip/123 called sip/345, that's two ports. I'd suspect that some ports are used for other purposes besides just a conversation, so adding more is certainly more in your best interest then cutting them short. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
