<div>Check out the CDR configuration. I do my CDR via MySQL and I don't think that does buffering, but I know for sure the normal CSV format (and standard configuration file) has options for buffering before saving. I can't really think how that would change recieving the CDR information during a call, but it's possible something along those lines. I'm making it up really since the more I think about it the less that sounds possible. But search the documentation on the CDR or maybe ask the Asterisk Dev group about when the CDR fields get filled. It might even be possible that CDR infromation isn't accessable untill the line has been answered and that's the delay.

<div>What is the channel type to the remote site? IAX, SIP, analog? I've seen alarm systems that pick up analog lines they're attached to if thre are back to back calls. That's the best I can come up with there. Maybe someone else has a better idea.
