[Asterisk-Users] A winphone without the phone ??

[Gary]

Hi folks,

Now by using caller-id manipulation (thanks Mark) we can present a
modified caller-id to an extension which actually consists of the
called number (or company being called) plus the calling party's
number.

Now I am wondering what people thought of an idea ....

Seeing that no one has really come up with a winiax phone... how about
this ??

An extension which resides on a windows box, which can receive the
various information such as caller-id and called-number etc..

Must be able to be able to invoke or pass such information to an
external program ...

Implementation is fairly easy to the extent that when every a set zap
channel is rung and associated "data" channel is also rung. Thus an
operator can have their particular program setup ready to take the call
should they decide to answer it. Great for call centre type
application.

An alternative would be to be able to generate a web page (php?) with
the required information doing any database lookups required with a
separate web page per operator...

Any thoughts on this ??
