+Asterisk now generates Call Detail Records. See include/asterisk/cdr.h for
+all the fields which are recorded. By default, records in comma-separated
+values will be created in /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv. You can specify
+account codes and AMA (Automated Machine Accounting) flags on a per-channel
+(Zaptel et al) or per-user (IAX) basis to help with accounting. Look
+at the top of cdr/cdr_csv.c to see the format for the records.
+
+ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are trying to collect records on IAX to IAX calls
+you need to be aware that by default, IAX will attempt to transfer calls
+in this situation (if DTMF is not required). When the transfer is completed
+the call is dumped from the middle machine and thus the call detail records
+will report a short call time. If you want detailed records you must
+turn off IAX transfer, but unless your servers are very close together, you
+will definitely get a latency hit from doing so.
