I took a quick look at the 1.2 cdr source code and it
seems that there's no CANCEL state (or similar). So
there's no way of discriminating in the CDR data if a
call was aborted by the caller or it timed out on the
callee side. In both cases the disposition is "NO
ANSWER".

Am I overlooking something?
