[Asterisk-Users] using * for Internet call waiting

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

I once tried the pagoo service.  Seems I had to ask the telco for Call 
Forward Busy, and provide them with the toll free number pagoo gave me 
for their service.  When the forwarded call is received by their 
systems, they  would see _my_ callerid information, and thus know to 
contact my computer for the notification purpose.

Also, not sure if this is on track with what you want, but I've used 
jabber_client.pl tied into my dialplan to popup the callerid info of an 
incoming call on my screen..  I could then choose to answer the call or 
let it ring to voicemail.  Seems the jabber client Neos has 
well-designed popups.

links:
http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/2/
for the jabber_alert.pl script, allows sending jabber msgs from cmd line.

http://www.neosmt.com/
for a jabber client that pops up incoming messages. Note, this is also 
an H.323 client.  Haven't tried it with * yet, but I have been meaning to.

Here's the specific Dialplan line I use:
[inpstn]
exten => s,2,TrySystem(echo "Incoming call from :${CALLERID}" | 
jabber_alert.pl -e recipient at jabberserver -n sender at jabberserver -w 
senders_password)

Because it can sometimes take 2 or 3 seconds to send the jabber message 
on my network, I use TrySystem instead of System, which blocks, waiting 
for the return code from the command I passed.  Because the return code 
is prolly irrelevant, you'd most likely want to use TrySystem too...

hope this helps :)
