Nortel offers their own brand of call accounting that incorporates CDRPULL in a fancy web browser based solution. It is called Nortel Activity Reporter.

Also, there is many vendors that offer real time CDR from BCM. The real time capability offered through sockets is useful in some environments (i.e. hotel billing) but often unreliable resulting in lost calls (when network traffic overloads the system or there is a break in communication). CDRPULL is far more effective since the data can be re-PULLED if there is a break in transmission. CDRPULL can have the same affect as realtime since the jobs can usually be scheduled for semi-realtime pulling. THis gives you the ability to retrieve data in a much more reliable environment.

I find the CDRPULL or PUSH methods far more reliable and effective.
