Oh, and by the way, Sherwood is correct; you can ignore everything I wrote
previously, IF you
don't do call transfers, and you don't park calls.

And even if you do a small amount of that, as long as no one forwards an
incoming call to some international destination, you'll probably be OK with
CDR's. If you don't mind losing a little chunk of the conversation here or
there,
the current CDR's should be sufficient for you, and you don't have to go
thru
any bother.

Just keep in mind that clever people can/will take advantage of the fact
that everything after an incoming call is transferred is lost to billing (as
an example).
