[Asterisk-Users] Need to track dropped calls

[Carl Youngblood]

Of course I'm trying to deal with the network problems, but it's nice
to have another method of verifying that everything is working.
Frequently there are people who don't complain, so we don't realize
that their call quality is sub-par.

We are using iax.

It seems like there should be a record somewhere if a call was
terminated abnormally.

Thanks,
Carl
