asterisk users - Dec 2007 - Asterisk SIP Microsoft Outlook Integration

Does anyone know how I could integrate my Asterisk setup with Outlook so
that when I click on a phone number is my outlook address book it will
dial the number and ring my SIP phone so that I can just pick it up?  I
am interested in this integration for WinXP with Outlook 2003 and
WInVista with Outlook 2007.

Thanks,
Michael

One of the more popular ones seems to be Outcall, which is now
open-source and available from http://outcall.sourceforge.net.  I
haven't tried it personally, so your mileage may vary.

I'd look at a program called Outcall. I believe this will handle
everything you'll need.

I would recommend Activa TSP as I prefer its Outook integration than
Outcall's one :
- you're not limited to local contact folders,
- it doesn't need to import contacts
- GUI is simple.

It's based on TAPI and AMI.
A bug in AstManProxy prevent it to be used with it.

When you pick a Contact in Outlook, you select Actions|Call this contact...
and your own hardphone starts to ring.

I got several bugs (from Microsoft, I would say) configuring it on XP : it
disappeared with a fresh new XP install.

Cheers

Snapanumber is the best way to do this.

 

It's a commercial app so has a license fee but works great.

 

Cant comment about Outlook2007 but works great with 2003 for me.

There are probably a half dozen or more software apps that can do this.
Most are free last time I checked.  Google is your friend.

On a related note...

Is there anything out there that integrates with thunderbird??? I've 
looked many times but the only thing I've found are this:

http://www.maxcole.com/tbird-asterisk.html
and this:
http://cockatoo.mozdev.org/

Both of which don't work with current versions of Tbird.

There's also this:
http://labs.abbeyphone.com/tools/Thunderbird_Voip.html

But that only works through THEIR SIP proxy - which is useless.

I wonder if anyone has anything that actually works - Seems like this 
would be a killer plugin for Thunderbird.


Thanks
