asterisk users - Jan 2011 - CallerID and URL pop up for windows...

Anyone has a good recommendation for a Windows program that will open a
browser URL when your phone receives a call?  We had been using Yaacid
but since it is no longer being developed we need to look for an
alternative.  It should be light weight and work on all versions of
Windows.

This might be useful (or not)

Unless you need a canned app, this would be an easy program to develop on
your own.  The "easiest" way (IMO) to do this would be to put a small
instance of Apache on your Asterisk server and run a CGI program that
interfaces to the local instance of Asterisk and pops a new window when a
call comes in.  This would have the added benefit of being self-contained on
the Asterisk machine (no programs to install or ports to open).

What about a single-EXE Windows app that would connect to the Asterisk
Manager Interface and display CID information when a call comes in?

Not a "bad" idea, but possibly a security "hole" in that the
AMI password
would have to be imbedded in the application.

What you need already exists:

<http://bestof.nerdvittles.com/applications/screenpop/>But better thing
would be to a have TAPI for outlook to query Outlook contact as well because
it allows for making notes on the contact. I am willing to pay for that if
it is added to URANG II
