Re: [asterisk-users] OT: Accountless, free, skinnable, browser based SIP client wanted

2009-03-30 Thread Wolfgang Pichler
Hi,

i think the primary question here is - should it be java, activex or
flash based.

There are some implementations for each of there types out there.
Basicaly it is a simple softphone which can get configured and accessed
using javascript. So you can do the layout in html - and invoke
softphone functions using javascript.

I would also suggest do add a call me on my phone option for users
which will have problems with the softphone...


There are already some cmpanies out there which will provide such a
service - take a look at http://www.mexuar.com/ for example

regards,
Wolfgang Pichler

What about Yahoo messenger?  It seems that the PC to PC talk might do the
trick.

 You would take the input from the webpage, pass it to an AGI that opened

I'm not seeing this...

The customer clicks on a link on a web page which includes a SIP address 
in the HTTP request and the web server invokes a CGI (not AGI) that spews 
HTML back to the customer's browser to pass what connection where?

 Another thought on that thread;  could you make the window a softphone 
 and have asterisk call that extension?

If I had a browser based softphone that doesn't require my client's 
customer to create an account somewhere... Any suggestions that meet the 
above criteria?

Is your client completely committed to using a web-based softphone and 
requiring them to make sure they have speakers turned on and a 
microphone plugged in? I think it's a fair guess that if they have a CC 
they have a phone which makes some sort of click to call technology 
more attractive to me at least


For example my employer: ifbyphone.com offers products that do this, 
though there are plenty of others that do as well.

Since you're hosting this page and it is secured, why don't you just create
2 Gizmo accounts for each department and have the browser do a call from
gizmo-a to gizmo-b?  Then make your speed dial buttons do like this:
1. a-b
2. c-d
3. e-f

Etc.

Perhaps I'm not thinking this through enough, but that seems like a
solution.

Yes. The client already has 8xx PSTN service in place. This is to provide 
additional access for customers who don't want to use a hard-phone.
