 configure Asterisk to call a script that uses a SMB winpopup (or other
 method) out to a specified computer sitting next to the phone?
 
 Thanks very much for any ideas, or knowledge of something already in

The smbclient program from Samba provides an option to send winpopup 
messages.

A little Perl script that uses the Net::Jabber module -- It pops up an online 
(presence) notification via Jabber.  I use Psi (psi.affinix.com) for my 
Jabber client and it works quite well.

I wrote this up (very) quickly, but it is expandable and can be used to 
provide service to many people with some simple changes to the mechanism 
(i.e. use directed presence messages).

Well there is a system command where you can shell out and issue a CLI
command from the dialplan. From there you can look at what your options
are such as smbclient.

Maybe a moment running through the man page is in order.

I use a program called YAC. 
http://sunflowerhead.com/software/yac/

The client basically sits on a listening socket. I run a little perl
AGI that streams the CID to the YAC client. I also have this running
on my Tivo so that I can get callerID on my TV. All of the vb source
is available. One thing I have been meaning to do is rewrite it to
accept a UDP broadcast on my whole subnet so that I don't have to
specify indidual IP addresses in my Perl AGI.

Hope this helps. If anyone tweeks it better, let me know. I just
haven't had time.
