Hi,

In my quest to allow a software panel to ask an hardphone to answer an
incoming call without touching the hardphone itself, I'm wondering if a
Reinvite application could exist.

I'm thinking about the following use case :

Alice is calling Bob
Bob's phone starts to ring
Bob's GUI app also shows the incoming call asking him if he prefers to
reject, transfer or answer the call
With the GUI app, Bob replies he whishes to reply
Asterisk reinvites Bob's phone with autoanswer option
Bob's phone answers Alice phone

Thoughts ?
