[Asterisk-Users] Bill seconds

[Leon Sun]

The easiest way is to change another vendor asap. It is ridiculous that your
carrier still uses 60+60 now(30+6 is an asset). 2 seconds doesn't matter and
billing unit does.

I've done a little thinking on this one....  If you are using ASTCC, it 
would be fairly straightforward to edit it and have it make a 2 second 
adjustment.  If your using another solution it probably would be fairly 
easy also...
