asterisk users - Jan 2011 - Recommended Windows client to display CID?

Hello

	I'd like to display CID information on users' monitor running
Windows.

I know I can run a script through the dialplan to send a datagram that
is picked up Impulse Technology's free NetCID (www.imptec.com), but
I'd rather use an open-source solution.

An alternative would be to use a Windows application that would
connect to Asterisk's AMI. I don't know if multiple clients can
connect simultaneously and each be notified of incoming calls.

There may be yet other ways to do what I want.

Are there open-source solutions you could recommend?

Thank you.

If you like open source what are you doing running windows ?

Getting anything to work properly there which does network 
communications is a huge PITA since every user has their own firewall 
and different settings etc etc etc.

I have asterisk call out to a shell script which sends a jabber message to the
user (along with links to any open tickets in our ticketing system associated
with that CID).  All free, but requires work to build.

A web browser on the Windows boxes; continually refreshing a CGI script hosted 
on the Asterisk server that displays data from a database, which in turn is 
updated by an AGI script run from within the dialplan whenever a call comes 
in or hangs up?

Otherwise, you'd need to run some sort of daemon on the Windows boxes that 
listened out for messages sent by an AGI script.  Maybe you can hack an 
instant messaging client to pieces for this purpose?

You could use any XMPP client and send a message to it using JabberSend() from 
the dialplan. We document using it at http://ofps.oreilly.com.

This can also be accomplished using JabberSend.

Hi Gilles,

If you want someting really light weight there is always the old 
winpopup protocoll.

For example: smbclient -M NETBIOSNAME < text.txt (on linux)

I am unsure about support in later versions of Windows but up to at 
least win2000 this pops up a simple message box on the windows machine 
remotely.

I had another idea: It'd be cool if the application could either just
display CID information, or also search Outlook for a matching Contact
and open the relevant page so that the user can review/add information
for that person. Poor man's CRM :-)

HI ,
?
Please give idea for Multi tenant with Trixbox or elastix. 
?
?
Thanks
