<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With a little effort, you should be able to write a
script that parses CDR records every X minutes and calculates based on route
pattern/gateway the total number of long distance minutes used. It won't be
live, but you can at least get an email message when you are getting
close.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Maybe some type of TCL IVR script that kept a record of time
used.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You could use the TCL script to prefix numbers to a call and match them
on the pots dial peers to go out the correct PRI</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Not that I would use this but just thinking if its possible.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The call could be answered by the TCL, Time variable checked, decide what
PRI to use prefix the number and dial again.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>sounds feasible?</DIV>

don't think there is anything in CM to do this. with some time and a
lot of energy you could look through CDRs and try and route calls based on
past calling patterns....... But that is not my idea of a good time.
