[Asterisk-Users] Accurate Billing

Steve,

For analog, isn't it just a case of getting asterisk to listen out for
specific tones such as busy, or "ringing". Isn't this what the
"callprogress" option is for in zapata.conf? I thought that it works for the
US at the moment but no where else.

T1/E1 interfaces, so T100P, E100P, T400P, E400P

If you need to see examples, I could probably dig up CDR records where
busy is indicated, and where no answer is indicated and there is a
definate difference between call duration and stop-start duration.
