phone (<A href="http://www.xten.com/">http://www.xten.com/</A>). This should
have just about everything you want except adding the agent to the Queue, which
can be handled by using an autodial sequence. If you REALLY don't want the
agents to have access to the phone, I think there are a few open-source
softphones that you could strip down to bare
minimum.</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
