[Asterisk-biz] Billing solution

[Race Vanderdecken]

I hate to see people suffering.

If anyone is interested I am creating support for Asterisk in IBS.

Please contact me at asterisk at codetyrant.com if you would like to know
the progress.

Too bad neither of the solutions you just offered support Asterisk. 

Fredrik, the solution to your problem is to very simply utilize the 
'account code' functionality in Asterisk.  Assign each user their own 
unique account code, then whatever Asterisk CDR backend you utilize will

contain records that include those account codes for every call that 
goes through your system.

To make your system pre-paid, all you have to do is authenticate each 
caller prior to letting them place calls., which is almost trivial with 
Asterisk.

There is no need for a hosted solution. Use the power of Asterisk, don't

side-step it.
