ok I have a answer for you

yes it does cdr. you can use a gui interface to look at them


yes it runs on bsd and if its for your company then you
would want a gui for 
ease of use. 

you have basicly 2 major choices right now freepbx or
thirdlane. 

freepbx be it is a ok project requires sql and is a resource
hog in the long 
run.

thirdlane does not require a sql but you can implement a sql
for cdr storage 
and recall via other gui interfaces.

There are options there to tie it to an ODBC data source for
that.

Lots of good info there. But be warned SIP and NAT are a
huge headache  
together.

That's not quite true. Linux and BSD are different OS's and 

applications like Asterisk which are written specifically
for Linux  
need some porting to work properly under BSD. However, it is
pretty  
easy to install on FreeBSD:

# portinstall asterisk

if you don't have portinstall, then Google that and install
it. Very  
useful tool.
