Hi, Is there any softphone or TAPI plug-in that allows one to dial from a web page? As you may know, Skype has a mechanism that converts phone numbers on a web page to a click-to-dial application. I'd like to use this but on a normal softphone (Bria, Xlite, other). Regards, Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(You'll need to specify Context too.) When the callfile is processed, the softphone will ring; when it's picked up, it will dial the far end. Roger

Flash and ajax http://phono.com Java: http://phonefromhere.com/ :r

The file needs to look something like the below example: -----8<----- Channel: SIP/$SRC Context: $CTXT Extension: $DEST Priority: 1 CallerId: $SRC ----->8----- where $SRC = source number, $CTXT = context and $DEST = destination. NB, create the file in /tmp/ first then mv it; this way you can be sure Asterisk will never try to parse an incomplete callfile. If doing this in Perl, you *may* get away with keeping the callfile under 1 disk block as long as $| = 0 on the filehandle, but this is by no means portable. -- AJS Answers come *after* questions.
