<P>hi everyone,</P> <P>I know this issue has been raised many times before, i think still the problem remains. When a call is made through a Zap channel, whether it is actually made or not (irrespective of whether, engaged, busy, or actually answered), asterisk logs it in CDRs as a call made. This makes it impossible to do an accurate billing. Has anybody found a way to overcome this problem, if yes, please let me/us know.</P> <P>Thank you inadvance,</P> <P>Surajee</P><br> --------------This mail sent through OmniBIS.com--------------

If you are on an analog interface, then there is no way to know the other answered or not. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>

Hello,every one! I would like to know if asterisk could run under uclinux. Regards. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20030707/6156fc60/attachment.htm
My friend has a small pay phone services business running using analog lines and a conventional PBX. He allows a delay before starting billing. So if a customer's call is not answered after the allowed delay he is billed.
