[Asterisk-Users] Billing of outoging calls via CAPI

[Rastislav Lukac]

Hi Patrick,

exactly, i am looking for something like AOC.
The CDR offers just billing seconds and this is not enough
because additionaly i would need rate-tables to calculate
accurate price of the outgoing call. hmm...and is not what i want.

Maybe there is a way to catch the billing information
from D-channel. Is there any standalone application
for linux, which is able to filter these charging informations
when the Asterisk can't do that?

Regards
Rastislav
