A web browser on the Windows boxes; continually refreshing a CGI script hosted 
on the Asterisk server that displays data from a database, which in turn is 
updated by an AGI script run from within the dialplan whenever a call comes 
in or hangs up?

Otherwise, you'd need to run some sort of daemon on the Windows boxes that 
listened out for messages sent by an AGI script.  Maybe you can hack an 
instant messaging client to pieces for this purpose?
