Excellent!  This is one feature we really need!  The way I thought about 
doing this would be to stick the console as an icon in the System Tray 
(where the volume control, et. al. is) and have it pop up a window 
(similar to Gnome's calender/date applet) whenever a call comes in that 
must be brought to the person's attention.  For example, if Bob's 
secretary wasn't answering her phone (or had marked herself as away), 
the console would pop up for all the other secretaries with the incoming 
call.  Since they'd know the extension, it would be transparent to the 
caller that it was really Jane's secretary answering.

Well, HBasic uses Qt for its GUI and wxWindows is a GUI library for 
C/C++ (and Perl, and...) similar to Qt.  So basically, they're apples 
and oranges.
