I wrote the flash operator panel, a switchboard type console that does
all these things. You can see who is busy or idle or not registered,
you can transfer via drag and drop, you can popup a webpage with the
callerid passed to your web application (in our office, we open a
webpage with customer information and details before we pick up the
phone). You can modify the callerid text before transferring to pass
information, and many features more.. Its not exactly what you want,
but similar. It needs a PC, you cannot do it just with phones.
