</div></div>Without putting too much thought into it, it would seem that<br>
creatively using queues or maybe even a meetme room, you could get<br>
accurate billing.<br>
<br>
Maybe if you use some AGI/AMI mojo along with queue_log you could come<br>
up with something solid? Not sure how using app_bridge shows up in<br>
CDR either...<br>
<br>
Just a thought.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
