asterisk users - Aug 2007 - FW: OT - Callto:// tags inside web pages

Olivier,

I think you are getting confused. Call me on 212-203-4357 and I'll
answer your questions but basically I think you are doing this the wrong
way.

Dean,

It's for tens of single user : a couple of users at a time on as many
locations I can get !

I've got a contact with an ISV with sells directories (with coporate
charting capabilities).
Today, its software is mainly used to edit and display charts and
directories. 
In directory use, it displays extensions and phone numbers with
convenient browsing facilities.

I now have the opportunity to ask the ISV to extend its software to
include click2call facilities.
But given ISV background, soft will remain independant from phone
infrastructure as attendant console usage is not the widest spread
usage. 
So bottom line is if infrastructure provides click2call, that's fine and
if doesn't, it doesn't really matter.

So I'm looking for something as non-intrusive and general as possible :
for an attendant welcoming calls all day long, click2call feature is a
must and you can pick whatever browser is best for that task. But the
operator uses this software from time to time, browser compliance is
mandatory. 

Using a softphone or not for answering call, is not my main concern
today (nor having this software installed or downloaded is not my focus)
as I know it can somehow be done, at least with an hardphone.

But what really matters for me now, is I could trigger click2dial
feature. 

Skype Internet Exporer plugin detects phone numbers and replace them
with active <callto:> tag enabled buttons
Shall I aim the same with Asterisk instead of Skype ?

Your suggestion to both use <sip> and <callto> seems very smart to
me.

How shall I then link those tags with my click2call or softphone
software ?
It looks like a Configuration Panel option, but I'm not sure.
Your opinion ?

Regards
