Well, I have to chime in here. The Flash Operator Panel can do this without polling. The downside is that you need the browser window open for it to work. If you don't want to display any buttons, you can embed the flash client on a hidden frame or iframe, no problem. You can also use it for adding 'click-to-dial' capabilities to your web application. Newbie alert: you have to configure several files to achieve this, and you must know a little javascript and/or php. -- Nicol�s Gudi�o Buenos Aires - Argentina _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
