<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hi everybody,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>wouldn't it be great to have a tapi provider that
works with asterisk?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>all we would need is a custum tapi service provider
that uses asterisk's manager functions to play a call between a configured
extension (e.g. your iax/sip/zap phone and a number that you provide using
e.g. microsoft outlook).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I found the folling in the net that could give some
help:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><A href="http://www.julmar.com/"><FONT
face=Arial>http://www.julmar.com/</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial> here you can
find a gpl licensed lib to create a tsp.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>again: here is a draw of how it could be
done.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- in your properties you have your default
extension configured.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- then you select a contact in MS outlook and want
to place a call using tapi and the asterisk tapi service provider.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- the tsp then uses asterisk manager function to
place a call between your extension and the person you want to
call.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>(e.g. Channel: </FONT><A
href="mailto:Capi/@12345:0815"><FONT face=Arial>Capi/@12345:0815</FONT></A><FONT
face=Arial> to Exten: 4711)</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or we can somehow drop a .call-file in asterisk
outgoing directory if this is easier / more secure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>who would be interested in helping develloping such
a project. My programming skills are not that good but I will try to do my
best.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>bye</FONT></DIV>
