Hhmm well that's annoying....

Is the kludge done at the software side when the data is pulled out for
accounting and being under say 45 seconds is a no answer or busy? Or is
there a tweak that can be done at the database itself?

So by that any calls that go out over the net using IAX to the telco are
considered digital and will report correctly?
