Joseph,

This issue is people get confused;

Click-to-Call - the ability to enter a number on a web page (or 2 numbers in
the case of apps like JaJah) and have a centralized server deliver a two
legged outbound call resulting in a 2 (or more) party conference call. This
is inbuilt in Asterisk and can be found/implemented very easily by referring
to the voip-info site for "Dynamically generated call files".


Click-to-Talk – is different. It is the ability to using a browser to visit
a web site, by clicking on a hyperlinked image or initiating the call in
some other way your browser downloads either a java applet in the case of
Mexuar, JiaxClient, Barbizan and a few other java solutions or an Active-X
client in the case of Estara.

These applets are basically installing a ‘softphone’ onto the browser that
is configured to dial a particular extension eg throught to sales or
technical support.


It’s frustrating people confusing the terms but hopefully over time people
will understand the differences.
