No.  D'Bridge can be configured to calculate the cost of each call based
upon the time of day/day of week.  For example, you can tell it that it
costs $0.23/minute to call a number during the day weekdays, but only
$0.11/minute at night or on weekends.

With Binkley, only one cost per node is supported (the value that your
nodelist compiler places into the nodelist indexes).
