You can not pass information that way. The environment variable for your
web server is JUST for your web server. It will not be available to
asterisk. Your webserver should not run as root, nor as the same user as
asterisk. Your best bet would be to get netmeeting to register to
asterisk when it is opened, then asterisk will know the user is
available.
