Ok, whatever you say. What we find is the "opposite". We have customers who intentionally setup International calling for certain regions of the world with the intent that their employees are able to use it to contact family (as a perk, or benefit). With the exception of International Dialling, all of our customers have unlimited domestic long-distance, so as long as there is no abuse during working hours that keeps people from doing their job, they don't really care. With the work force becoming so mobile, controlling it becomes an impedance to getting work done, and so on. So it seems I would look at your request as legitimate, but not on the same priority as you need. Realize this could have been addressed "first", and it sounds like you jumped in without addressing this and other issues as an 11th hour need. It would be proper to set an expectation based on what the system does, instead of what it can do "if someone changed the code". In that spirit, realize there are changes that would have to be made in order to add this to sipxconfig in order to satisfy the management goal of the project, whether it is schedule based or a plain permission. The changes have to involve sipxconfig too, and I suggest you open an enhancement request to see if it can be scheduled for an upcoming version, so you can set the proper expectations for your "boss".
