ok I have a answer for you

yes it does cdr. you can use a gui interface to look at them 

yes it runs on bsd and if its for your company then you would want a gui for 
ease of use. 

you have basicly 2 major choices right now freepbx or thirdlane. 

freepbx be it is a ok project requires sql and is a resource hog in the long 
run.

thirdlane does not require a sql but you can implement a sql for cdr storage 
and recall via other gui interfaces.
