oeehm... pardon?
Servers are usually in a server room... and the users work in their
offices which are not neccessarily anywhere near the server room,
which means my phone is way more than 10m away from the * box with the
bluetooth dongle.

Or what about:

Asterisk <-- IAX --> BT_IAXy <-- bluetooth --> mobile ? ;)

There's the bluetooth-presence stuff alredy floating around, see
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20Bluetooth%20channels

perhaps something similar but with IAX between the two places and then
use a USB bluetooth dongle on the PC in your office to connect to the
* server.


Cheers,
 Rainer
