What we ended up doing was using the CallerIDName field for a 20 character unique identifier and we used the callerIDnum as usual (telcos in the US only use callerIDnum anyway). That way we were able to track a call from creation as Local/ channel to it's end as whatever channel type it ended up being when it's hung up by the callerIDname. This is certainly not the most elegant solution but is the only way to do it and I guarantee it works, we have been using it for over 2 years now in the astGUIclient project(http://astguiclient.sf.net) MATT--- ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Thanks, I was misguided by http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Variables which didn't mention this. I guess there is no way to achieve what I want to do with the stable version?
