Chanspy lets you listen to a channel. While it will record to a file, it 
would be a manual operation for every call.

I suspect either you want to insert an Asterisk system in-between as a 
"tap" (requiring re-configuring your phones and your outside provider) or 
using a "voip sniffer" plugged into the management port of your Ethernet 
switch.

Of course, I've done neither, so my advice is worth every penny you paid 
for it :)

Thanks in advance,
