Hi Christian, I'd do it differently: I'm afraid that's one of the things about FS, that there's often no single right way of doing something. CDRs - I'd use mod_xml_cdr to write them to files, and then have something pull the files from the directory and deal with them. You're a bit more fault-tolerant that way than with Jonas' suggestion. Let me know if you'd like a bit of Perl which pulls them from the directory and stashes them in a database - modifying it to post them to a web server is trivial. And the script itself - I'd write it in Perl and attach it to FreeSWITCH's event socket interface, possibly using a socket-based (HTTP?) interface to query your SQL server via a bit of C#, given the constraints that you've specified. DO NOT use FreeSWITCH::Client.pm as a basis for the script; it's crashed periodically in not terribly heavy use. Again, let me know if you want a framework that does all the FS-specific bits: it's pretty alpha, but we're using it in production. Hope this helps more than it confuses ;-) Cheers -- Dave
Those are great suggestions! Thanks!
Any idea on how best to initiate leg A?

I would use mod_xml_curl to query your C# server after a dialplan for each call. Then you can create dialplan actions that answers, says the balance and then bridge to the destination. Or you can create a small javascript that answers, uses curl to fetch balance from a http server (or use the socket module, or odbc to query the db directly) and then bridge the call to the destination.
As for CDR I would recommend the mod_cdr_xml module which sends CDR XML to a http server. I'm also coding a ODBC CDR module, but I havent had time to finish it :(

Hi,
I am looking for a little guidance. We have built our system around Asterisk and now we are looking to FreeSwitch to see if it will do what we need. I am confident that it can, but I need a tiny bit of pointing in the right direction.
That said, here is what we do now:
We do what we call Three Party Calling (call leg A, announce their minute balance, call leg B, bridge)
Pretty easy to do really.
The part I need help with is how we can get the balance to be announced as that data is contained in our SQL server database. Ideally, this data would come from the database but by way of C#. We also would like to get FreeSwitch to tell us the CDR data, http is fine if need be.
I know #freeswitch is available, but I thought I would ask here first.
Thanks! Christian
