It's really simple and stupid- but seems to work great. Incoming calls for any type of extension can be configured to make winpopups (or linpopups : ) on any local network machine show Caller ID info. You need to write no scripts other than what's below. I use a scratch file but somebody smarter than me could probably even figure out a way to do it without one.
Requirements- you need smbclient on your asterisk machine
Here's how to set up an entry in your extensions.conf
; Extension 200 Call ID Popup Example
exten => 200,1,NoOp(${CALLERID} ${DATETIME})
exten => 200,2,System(/bin/echo "'Incoming Call From: ${CALLERID}'">>/etc/asterisk/callidmsg)
exten => 200,3,System(/bin/echo 'Received: ${DATETIME}'>>/etc/asterisk/callidmsg)
exten => 200,4,System(/usr/bin/smbclient -M target_netbios_name < /etc/asterisk/callidmsg)
exten => 200,5,System(rm -f /etc/asterisk/callidmsg)
exten => 200,6,Dial,sip/tom|30|t
exten => 200,7,Congestion
Note that I used both the " and the ' marks in one of the echo commands as the NAME part of $CALLERID contains " (double quotation marks), and messes up the echo.
You can set this up per extension, of course, naming the file differently per extension to avoid any problems... also it might be smart to use a different working directory. Just don't name your scratch file something really dumb like extensions.conf.
