If you just want to trigger click2dial you can use SIPTAPI.

Re: [asterisk-users] TAPI and Asterisk
Click-to-dial in Outlook is a feature of trixbox PRO. HUD does have a TAPI interface. You can even click-to-dial any phone number that shows up in a browser window. --Don Don Kelly PCF Corp People Come First 651 842-1000 888 Don Kell(y) 651 842-1001 fax -Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Jeff LaCoursiere Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 9:27 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [asterisk-users] TAPI and Asterisk Funny how a topic will come up that you have never dealt with before, and suddenly it comes up from multiple directions at the same time.

Re: [asterisk-users] TAPI and Asterisk
Following up my own thread, I am kicking myself for quickly posting without doing a bit of research. Apparently (no surprise) this integration of Outlook and Asterisk is very old news, and there are many projects out there. Anyone dealt with Thirdlane? http://www.thirdlane.com/products/thirdlane-dialer This seems to be just the ticket...

I recently completed PhoneClient 1.2 which is a Windows executable that interfaces with Asterisk, with capacity to receive numbers from the clipboard via a hotkey. PhoneClient is also a call manager and meeting room interface. If interested please contact me off the list. C.

Re: [asterisk-users] TAPI and Asterisk
There is a Digium solution to this as well... Digium recently acquired snap-a-number and has put own their own version of it already called Asterisk Desktop Assistant It does exactly what you are looking for plus some more... Information is still a little scarce since it is pretty new, but there is some limited information as well as some manuals that should give you enough information to get it going (its actually very easy). http://forums.digium.com/index.php?c=8sid=0a71abedc29238acee530a0461c914b0 Oh yeah, its also free (as in beer). Though I am not clear if its going to stay that way or not... But I haven;t seen anything that would indicate otherwise. -- Matt Watson On 30/01/09 11:11 AM, Jeff LaCoursiere j...@jeff.net wrote: Following up my own thread, I am kicking myself for quickly posting without doing a bit of research.

[Asterisk-Users] tapi for asterisk*
hi everybody, wouldn't it be great to have a tapi provider that works with asterisk? all we would need is a custum tapi service provider that uses asterisk's manager functionsto play a call between a configured extension (e.g. your iax/sip/zap phone and anumber that you provide using e.g. microsoft outlook). I found the folling in the net that could give some help: http://www.julmar.com/here you can find a gpl licensed lib to create a tsp. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+manager+dialout again: here is a draw of how it could be done. - in your properties you have your default extension configured. - then you select a contact in MS outlook and want to place a call using tapi and the asterisk tapi service provider. - the tsp then uses asterisk manager function to place a call between your extension and the person you want to call. (e.g. Channel: Capi/@12345:0815 to Exten: 4711) or we can somehow drop a .call-file in asterisk outgoing directory if this is easier / more secure. who would be interested in helping develloping such a project. My programming skills are not that good but I will try to do my best. bye
