[Asterisk-Users] IAX Phone Issues/McAfee Virus Scan vs. IAX Phone

[Brian Christie]

Have you ever looked into adding support for dialing directly from a browser? 
i.e. <a href=iax:1234 at 192.168.1.50>click here to call foo</a> and IAX
Phone pops up and dials.

I think estara's SIP softphone supports this.
