[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Post Paid Application

[Darren Wiebe]

That is pretty much exactly what this is setup to do.  I don't have 
credit limits,etc setup yet but it would be easy to do if somebody 
wanted it.  The reason I slapped something together is I could not find 
anything that was easy to setup and fairly basic.  I think Trabas VOIP 
billing would work fine but I finally gave up with it.  This does not 
have near as many features but.....
