[asterisk-users] Help: How does one determine the length of an outbound/dialout MESSAGE to be delivered

[Costa Dinoteli]

THANKS
I am looking at two
2 fields in asterisk:

Duration - includes ring time

billsec - should not include ring time

For some reason billsec includes ring time and
duration = billsec + some other stuff.
billsec should not include ringtime and is causing issues.

is there a way to get accurate accounting results?

--Thanks in advance,
