The trouble I'm running into is that IAX takes bridged calls away from my server. So the available channels question needs to be asked of the provider (Unlimitel), not my box.
This happens when an incoming call (over iax DID) dials an external iax extension (such as a cell phone). The call starts as: Incoming - PSTN - Unlimitel - My Asterisk - Unlimitel - Cell phone But is changed to: Incoming - PSTN - Unlimitel - Cell phone At which point I have no control over the call, CDRs, or iax channel usage. I don't know if Unlimitel counts these calls towards the 5 limit but I assume they do since their cdrs show them. If they don't count to the limit then I don't need to be asking this question.
