Hi Stefan,
It's (possibly) true that your script will enable you to dial a contact
from Kontact using ekiga, which is quite useful in itself.

What I am _really_ interested in (and should have explained better) is 
the ability to use my computer to instruct the SIP hard phone on the
desk/sofa next to it to dial a number without having to use the phone's
keypad.

For me this has the following advantages over using a softphone:
1). My computer is old and slow, can't really cope with doing lots of
things at once.
2). My IP phone has better codec support
3). I could dial arbetory numbers, include letters and '@' which I can't
on the phone keypad.

Cheers,
Simon.
