I haven't found outcall that confusing though I do agree that a TAPI Driver that makes use of the available outlook call functions will make for the easiest, most streamlined user experience.
I also agree that these convenience and little feature are very important especially with Microsoft entering the VOIP platform market with a product that is sure to integrate with the users desktop and office extremely well and in every aspect. Asterisk need this functionality to stay competitive on the end user experience front. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2007 4:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk SIP Microsoft Outlook Integration OutCall is very confusing. The user has multiple options "Call Contact" the outlook option remains present (and does not work). That is confusing. You need a "TAPI Driver" for the easiest user experience. This plugs in to the Windows/Outlook framework. Not only does it work with the factory Outlook options any application that uses TAPI for placing calls will work with no added configuration/modification. There are various 3rd party TAPI drivers but I think these little things are items that need to be added to the Asterisk development.
