If Outlook works anything like the KDE mail / news / calendar app Kontact, then you can specify a command to be run whenever a phone number is clicked on, and insert the number into the command by means of a placeholder. Ordinarily, this would simply launch a softphone client. What we did to get Asterisk-integrated fuctionality in Kontact was simply set the "call" command to invoke wget and fire a CGI script on the Asterisk box, which generated a callfile. The script knows the IP address from which it was invoked, and therefrom can determine the extension number of the nearest phone. -- AJS Answers come *after* questions. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
