I'm not "seeing" this...

The customer clicks on a link on a web page which includes a SIP address 
in the HTTP request and the web server invokes a CGI (not AGI) that spews 
HTML back to the customer's browser to pass what connection where?

If I had a browser based softphone that doesn't require my client's 
customer to create an account somewhere... Any suggestions that meet the 
above criteria?
