Actually, Caller ID cannot – so far as I know – “easily be spoofed”. While you can usually disable sending “caller ID” by the *6x method, be aware that if you call an 800 number, that 800 number *<B>will</B>* get the calling party number. It’s needed for billing the 800# recipient.<BR>
<BR>
With PRI, if you have it correctly provisioned by the carrier and they support it, etc., you can legitimately spoof a caller name and number, but I doubt a nurse or janitor would maintain a PRI line to do this. </SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:13.0px'><FONT FACE="Wingdings">J<BR>

<BR>
I am in the process of developing a time card application that <BR>
integrates with Asterisk and I would like to know if anyone has done <BR>
this and if so can you recommend an open source time card application <BR>
that might reduce the amount of work required to connect it to Asterisk. <BR>
I do not want to reinvent the wheel and write a WEB based time card app, <BR>
I would rather spend my time getting Asterisk to connect to it. I will <BR>
be using LAMP so it will be written in PHP instead of C...<BR>
<BR>
Thanks<BR>

Do you mean employee time-card? With mysql database this would be very<BR>
interesting project.<BR>
Do you have a short description of what it would do?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
</SPAN></FONT></FONT><FONT SIZE="5"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:16.0px'>Hi,<BR>

Thanks for responding. The basic system would work as follows. An employee would call in and would transfer to a menu (either via an operator or via the phone system if no operator is available). Something like press 1 for sales and service press 2 for accounting and press 3 if you are an employee. Upon pressing three the user would be asked to enter their employee ID and password. The system would capture the employee ID , time of day and if available the caller ID from the location they are calling from. When they are finished they would repeat the process thus capturing the finish data for filling out a time card. The usage is a group of field nurses that need an easy way to enter data into there time cards since the Internet is not always available from the locations they call from. Although the caller ID can easily be spoofed this is not as important as capture of the time and employee data for filling out a time card. A second application uses the same theory but for janitors. The caller ID helps confirm they are where they are supposed to be. There are several PHP time cards out there but I am trying to find the best for interfacing with Asterisk. Phase one would be to capture the data to a flat file phase 2 would be to get it into a database, phase three would interface it to an existing LAMP based time card apt and phase 4 would allow for phone access to information stored in the time card such as how many hours worked, hours by day etc. A final phase would interface these to both Peachtree and Quickbooks.<BR>
<BR>
I am working on a more definitive outline right now but I wanted some feedback from the development community before doing so, so that I did not reinvent the wheel.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks<BR>
