asterisk users - Jul 2004 - CDR shows billsec=12 for all bridged calles.

Can someone help me, im using latest CVS, asterisk and cdr_mysql, when I
make a bridge call (using .call files in outgoing/) I always get
'billsec=12' in the cdr, both mysql and Master file even if the call
lasted
longer, watching the Master file while making a call I see it updated at 12
seconds even while im still 'in' the DIAL app and the call continues on
just
fine.
Iv looked through all my scripts and cant see anything to cause this.
Im pretty new to asterisk so I don't know what to do now..

I seem to remember a comment at one time about needing to call out and
then let the caller connect to an internal extension otherwise there was
a problem with billable time.

Other possibility is that you are calling through an IAX connection
to another machine, if this is the case, the first machine will pass 
the call on to the second machine, and that machine will keep the cdr 
entry.

Ah yes that's it exactly, working fine now thanks.

12 ms is what I saw when I did * to * IAX.

In iax.conf, set:

notransfer=yes

That prevents IAX from transferring call to remote Asterisk, & so it will
stay in path.
