[Asterisk-biz] PBX Billing Engine

[aza]

Yes the billing system is completely separate from the 
asterisk PBX, it
was designed that way.

You are right though, there is a need to allow asterisk to 
limit calls based
on a customer's credit. To that end we have two asterisk 
modules we are
working on that call web services on the billing system to 
get the
remaining call credit and if running low sound a warning 
before cutting
the call off. These modules aren't ready yet.

How do you limit users' calls to available credit? It seems 
your *
server is completely separate from your billing engine.
