Thanks for the info Trevor. Was your proof of concept also with

a bit of a learning curve.
This was just on Linux user stations with a simple bash script that
send a request to a web server. The web server did the rest based
on the PC's IP address and user's username.
Might be a bit harder to do on a Windows based network with DHCP on
the workstations !
One way to try it would be to look for a service all PCs register for
already.
If you have a central fileserver I'd go for that.
The SNMP mib for windows (NT and upwards) lets you query things like
logged-on username, client IP address - and MAC addresses.
So you poll that, work out which user is on which MAC address (hence PC)
then you just need a map that finds the nearest phone to a given MAC.
Use that to update the realtime database.
Sounds like a fun project, shame I don't need it !
