I spent an afternoon going through that code again, Darren. You were right. If we assume that the intent was to use the "includedseconds" column value as a way to allow for x/y billing intervals, and set "connectcost" to the value that we want to charge for the call minimum charge - "x", the stock code charges that amount, but also starts the meter running on the "y" value from the start of the call, resulting in an over charge. The "y" value, by the way, is set in the "brands" table and flows to the "cards" table when cards are created (breaking normalization). For example, we have a route to McMurdo Station for which we charge $.50 per minute, in six second increments with a 30 second minimum (30/6). If we set the connect charge column to $.25, the included seconds to 30, and the cost to $.50, a 30 second call should cost $.25. Instead, it's costing $.50, because ASTCC charged the connect fee, plus the cost of 5 six second increments - $.25. It shouldn't start charging those six second increments until AFTER the "includedseconds" interval has passed. I've patched by scripts to correct this. It would be nice if the correction were made to the distributed source, perhaps with some documentation of how things are supposed to work. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
