Hi to all, we have a community of people on an * box that use SIP softphones to talk each other. Can you suggest me the quickest and simple way to let someone know who is online without have to call one by one the persons to look if they are present or not?? Something the user list in Microsoft Messenger. I was thinking on some sort of web page that can check the registration of the sip clients on the asterisk but want to know if already exist to avoid to reinvent the wheel. thanks, Bye, MArcello

Everyone seems to agree that it's important, but I'm not aware of anyone actively working on it for Asterisk. Scott

One is Flash based, but very pretty. I also added rudimentary support for this in DeStar, it has to made nicer and more usable, but that is easy to do. Maybe you visit the page Software Addons on the www.voip-info.org WIKI.

It gives you an overview of who is on the phone and what lines/channels are in use. If you configure it properly, you can even use it to make internal calls. Just simply click on the person you want to talk to, and both of your phones will start ringing.
