[Asterisk-Users] Really lightweight itemised billing

[Darren Wiebe]

Do you have accountcodes in the database?  If you do, you could use 
astpp quite easily.  We could cut out most of the functionality for 
you.  Right now I don't have a way to search by date but that would be 
failry easy to add and I will be working on it soon anyways.  Drop me a 
line if you want or visit www.aleph-com.net/astpp
