The Openfire XMPP server (http://www.igniterealtime.org/) has an 
asterisk plugin which uses the manager interface to send 'On the phone' 
status to XMPP clients. It works very well.
It also has the capability to Pause and Unpause queue members depending 
on idle status, but that is very annoying and we turn that off!
