Hey, thanks to everybody who posted to my earlier thread. Here's a solution I came up with based on reading your scripts and advice.<BR>
<BR>
It's really simple and stupid- but seems to work great. Incoming calls for any type of extension can be configured to make winpopups (or linpopups : ) on any local network machine show Caller ID info. You need to write no scripts other than what's below. I use a scratch file but somebody smarter than me could probably even figure out a way to do it without one.<BR>
<BR>
Requirements- you need smbclient on your asterisk machine<BR>
<BR>
Here's how to set up an entry in your extensions.conf<BR>
<BR>
; Extension 200 Call ID Popup Example<BR>
exten => 200,1,NoOp(${CALLERID} ${DATETIME})<BR>
exten => 200,2,System(/bin/echo "'Incoming Call From: ${CALLERID}'">>/etc/asterisk/callidmsg)<BR>
exten => 200,3,System(/bin/echo 'Received: ${DATETIME}'>>/etc/asterisk/callidmsg)<BR>
exten => 200,4,System(/usr/bin/smbclient -M target_netbios_name < /etc/asterisk/callidmsg)<BR>
exten => 200,5,System(rm -f /etc/asterisk/callidmsg)<BR>
exten => 200,6,Dial,sip/tom|30|t <BR>
exten => 200,7,Congestion<BR>
<BR>
Note that I used both the " and the ' marks in one of the echo commands as the NAME part of $CALLERID contains " (double quotation marks), and messes up the echo. <BR>
<BR>
You can set this up per extension, of course, naming the file differently per extension to avoid any problems... also it might be smart to use a different working directory. Just don't name your scratch file something really dumb like extensions.conf.<BR>
