[Asterisk-Dev] 3rd party call control / CSTA , JTAPI or TAPIinterfaces

[Schaefer, Mark]

This is a pretty big weakness of Asterisk to be dealt with so flippantly.  I wouldn't necessarily define the Manager API as an API.  It's more of a UI.  We have a number of projects within OnStar that require 3rd party call control, and having to custom-build an application for Asterisk that raises the overhead associated with switching is definitely not the way to go.

If Asterisk gains any momentum, you may find a company like Genesys Labs developing adapters for it, but I doubt that will happen soon because, again, Asterisk has no real standard API for call control.

Yes.  It's called the Manager.
