[OpenSIPS-Users] Identify CDR accounting on dialog-timeout

[Jayesh Nambiar]

Hi Razvan,
Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to use only the acc module of trunk
version with the 1.7.1 stable version or do I have to download and
configure the entire latest trunk version of opensips.
I intend to use this in production setup, so just a little more worried
about the reliability.

Thanks again,

--- Jayesh
