I couldn't find anything on the DUAT providers' web sites that
says they provide that service (audit trail).

From the DUATS faq section:

http://www.duats.com/faq.html#legalbrief

When getting a briefing on DUATS, is this considered to be a legal
pre-flight briefing, with the same standing as a briefing I'd get by calling
Flight Service?
Yes. A DUATS route briefing contains the same elements as a route briefing
which is provided by an FAA Briefer. The briefing is recorded by DUATS, and
your receipt of the data can be proven, should the need arise. (Of course,
this requires you to sign on to DUATS using your own DUATS Access Code or
Personal Access code!) The DUAT service is paid for by the FAA, and is
certified by the FAA as being equivalent to a live Flight Service Specialist
for pre-flight briefings.

Thanks, Brad! Dave
