I looked at this about a month or so ago. I was thinking some sort of flash client ( but how to connect flash to SIP?) which was served up in a page with a script / form that requires input. Couple this with some cheap headphones / netbooks you've got a mobile call centre. But it's the last bit from browser to asterix that I got stumped on. Any ideas on that bit?
