<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Asterisk community:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If this is off topic, I apologize; please direct me
if so. But this is a list I monitor and know many of you are familiar with
these IP phones.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are an XML web service provider of telco
directory assistance and other data.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have a request from a client to assist them in
providing directory assistance search and dial capabilities to their CISCO 7960
IP phones. (I.e. so users do NOT call 411 on their phones, use
form-based search instead and can view search results and choose to dial
one of the resulting numbers from the search)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If anyone is familiar, I have a few
questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - can you program a buton to navigate a
browser to a particular web URL and display a form? (assuming the URL's
response meets whatever HTML-ish markup is required)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - are web-form applications practical on the
screen ? That is, is it possible for a user to "type" a name like Smith
and a city, submit it? How does this work for searching an internal
corporate directory (probably a scrolling list, which is possible because of the
limited number of listings.)? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - is there a companion PC-based application
that would allow you to do such searches on the PC, view the results, and click
a number to make the phone call it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - does the phone have capability to
make a URL request on the inbound call using the callerID value (in order to
obtain from a remote service the caller's directory information ) I
assume it is quite common to do this to an internal corporate
directory.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for any help.</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial
