I think the CDR generator of the Asterisk needs change to record the complete information. Agreed. However, there are still challenges here. First, you could use the custom_csv to create your own CDR layout that includes the dialed number, but you'd still need to come up with a way to get

You must use zaptel 1.4 and libpri 1.4. Asterisk 1.4 specifically has checks in the configure script to check for the unique stuff in those versions and the associated channel driver (chan_zap) will not build without it. I think I found the issue. My Tor2 clone has a modified driver. The
