asterisk users - Dec 2008 - 'dialer' application to trigger call between hardphone and number

Does anyone know of a small lightweight windows 'dialer' application I
can use to trigger a call (via call file or AMI) from any application?  (The
call would be placed between the target number, and the preconfigured DN of the
hardphone at the user's desk)

Ideally a phone number would be 'selected' from within any windows
application and the call would be triggered via hotkey, or a right-click menu or
by clicking a system tray icon.

There are scads of outlook-only options (no thanks), and I've found and
tried the Asterisk Dialer 1.0, which I don't like because it depends on
Yahoo widgets (heavy) AND it requires nearly as many discreet actions to dial a
number as just typing them on the phone itself.

Ideal would be something very 'efficient' with at most two or three
discreet actions needed to dial-- (i.e. 1:Select, 2:Hotkey--done!)

Any ideas?  Any Happy customers?

This sounds like a job for a VB.NET programmer.  The program would run like
a DDE server and ftp a call file to your asterisk server on the desired
action.
