[Asterisk-Users] using * for Internet call waiting
I once tried the pagoo service. Seems I had to ask the telco for Call
Forward Busy, and provide them with the toll free number pagoo gave me
for their service. When the forwarded call is received by their
systems, they would see _my_ callerid information, and thus know to
contact my computer for the notification purpose.
Also, not sure if this is on track with what you want, but I've used
jabber_client.pl tied into my dialplan to popup the callerid info of an
incoming call on my screen.. I could then choose to answer the call or
let it ring to voicemail. Seems the jabber client Neos has
well-designed popups.
links:
http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/2/
for the jabber_alert.pl script, allows sending jabber msgs from cmd line.
http://www.neosmt.com/
for a jabber client that pops up incoming messages. Note, this is also
an H.323 client. Haven't tried it with * yet, but I have been meaning to.
Here's the specific Dialplan line I use:
[inpstn]
exten => s,2,TrySystem(echo "Incoming call from :${CALLERID}" |
jabber_alert.pl -e recipient@jabberserver -n sender@jabberserver -w
senders_password)
Because it can sometimes take 2 or 3 seconds to send the jabber message
on my network, I use TrySystem instead of System, which blocks, waiting
for the return code from the command I passed. Because the return code
is prolly irrelevant, you'd most likely want to use TrySystem too...
hope this helps :)

The TDM part is pretty simple. The end user needs the call forward busy feature on thier line with the calls being forwarded to the * server. Taking it from there and sending it to a app on the users machine is whats left. I was thinking it could be sent with sip and a long timeout value.
