I think the real answer is create a custom client that makes all these commands just pushbuttons. The xmpp text exchange itself should be treated as an external API. Then the app can do the right thing and the user doesn't even need to know it's happening. Short of that, I think the right approach is to just have the PA send the initial user INVITE to all the possible targets at once, and use the first one that answers - the user configures which of his contact numbers should be used for the 'call' command by default (that is, when there is no 'from' clause), and they all get used. No guessing involved - let SIP sort it out. _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
