[Asterisk-Users] SIMPLE support in Asterisk?

[Kerker Staffan]

Ok
Yea, cause I used both Kphone and Windows messenger, and they
successfully registered (and subscribed i think) towards asterisk. Using
Kphone I even get a online status on all other users on the asterisk but
no interaction with status or IM. So maybe there is some quasi presence
avaible? I think it would be a great tool to support IM/Presence. There
is so much that can be done with such implementations.
