If I run asterisk on my ipaq not very many.  If I run it on a real
server many many more.

Your question cant really be answered with the information you have
provided.  It can only be answered in context.

What hardware?

What codecs?

Any translations (from one medium/codec to another)?

What applications are used (AGI, conferences, voicemail, etc)?

Is the asterisk server actually pushing the bits for a call or just
doing call setup and connecting the two endpoints directly?


These are the very minimum questions you have to answer before your
question can be answered.  There are a few other things that can go into
it, but those will help you better define for a rough idea ...  And
based on the answers to those questions there may be more questions.

how to force asterisk just doing call setup and connecting the two
endpoints directly?    reinvite=yes ?

if UA is behind NAT with reinvite=yes ,  will asterisk actually push
the bits or drop the call?
