asterisk users - Oct 2004 - Asterisk Post Paid Application

I have taken the astcc program which is designed for calling cards and 
used it to create a very basic post-pay system.  This allows your users 
to make multiple calls at one and puts the cost against their card.  
Their card is allowed to run into negative balances.  This is a very 
simple system.  Please be aware that this is only in beta status.  If 
you would like to try it out please download it from 
http://phone.hagenhomes.net/astpp.tar.gz  I have not written any 
documentation but it works pretty much the same as astcc.  Please 
contact me off-list at the email address below with any questions, 
suggestions, concerns, etc.

Hmm... Isn't what you've described a *prepaid* system? I pay before
using the service, and  I get to use it until I consume the value I
paid...? A postpaid system means that I pay *after* using the service,
usually this connotes monthly service fees... That seems to be the
terminology used by my country's telecom services, and it seems to be
the same elsewhere as well.

Just a thought. It may confuse people later on.
