There a number of ways to do this:
	1) run an application on each workstation which speaks the manager  
protocol and
pops a screen as needed. This doesn't scale easily to large numbers,  
you need to
install an application on each workstation and need some sort of  
manager proxy
as asterisk does not like many manager connections.
	2) run an IM client on each workstation and have a central server  
that talks
the manager protocol to asterisk, sending messages to IM clients when  
new
calls come in.
	3) have each user point their webbrowser at a web server which talks
the manager protocol to asterisk  and have the webpage poll the server
(using AJAX)
	4) embed a softphone in your application (or web page) and send
calls to it. Configure the softphone to pop the screen when a call  
comes in.

We do 4) . which you chose depends on your needs/skills.
