Hi Greg,
keeping the call control on your hands is an vital need...With the tomorrow release I prepared the first steps for a light dialog support based on Routing mechanism - complete FROM changing and restoring for the whole dialog was the prove of concept :). By being able to control the call from somewhere in the middle, I target especially issue no 2 and why not 4 and 5.
....and all this by avoiding the B2BUA.......
regards, bogdan

ya, that's been my experience too. it's a bit embarrassing to send your customer a bill for 18000 minutes on a single call...even if the gw operator doesn't bill you, you bill your customer, right?
i am very interested in a b2bua project. they just come in handy for all sort of stuff.
it is overkill for just terminating calls. they have other benefits as well...
- homogenize the packets you see
- obscure your network/customers to gateways obscure gateways to your customers
- reduce packet size
- provide a handy spot to kill a call in progress
- and my favorite, hung call detection
unfortunately, none of these benefits is large enough to convince some people that a b2bua is needed.

This is exactly what I am trying to overcome. Do third party PSTN providers typically employ any other means of monitoring a call? I would think the would automatically disconnect the call after a certain amount of time if there was no media detected.
Yes they should - but there a thousands of GW providers which have no glue about their equipment :-(
