This is incredibly trivial.  The billing machine sends its query
to your Linux box, believing that it's actually the pabx.  The
Linux box sends the query on immediately.  The PABX returns the
data to the Linux box.  The Linux box immediately sends all the
data that it wishes to pass through on to the billing machine.
When the billing machine sends its stop signal to the Linux box,
it sends it on to the PABX.  What's complicated about this?

The usual deal is that you pay standard rates if you want people
to do your work for you.  Email me off-list for my rates.

Cheers, Greg
