Thanks Patrick,

I'm using James's xAPSwitchboard app for the call logging etc - very good
b=
it of software and integrates nicely with Outlook :-)

=20

My early thoughts (from many months ago - which I think I posted on here)
w=
as to have the ability to create IVR menus that would eventually replace
Co=
mfort's rather limited system. I'd like to be able to dial in and hear the
=
status of a whole variety of things from alarm status, history. I'd also
li=
ke to be able to set the heating setpoints/on/off etc etc - all of which I
=
can currently do locally and from a web browser but not from a telephone.
O=
f course, my first and foremost need is to get a decent answering phone
ser=
vice setup (my old answer phone is on it's last legs and has been waiting
f=
or *).

=20

Would be nice if xAP Switchboard could integrate with your connector and
As=
terisk fully :-) (the first area I can see that would benefit is the
dialer=
in xSB which currently uses Kevin's xAPTel - could this potentially use As=
terisk?)

=20

Apart from that, there's a whole load of things I want to do that I don't
k=
now I want to do yet! ;)

Thanks,

Yes, I have a connector which does caller-id and allows calls to be
auto-di=
alled from a specified extension. Used in conjunction with an outlook
macro=
, you can dial from your outlook contacts direct. Used in conjunction with
=
xap-cache, you can build up a web page of recent calls.

I will write it up and bung it on the website.

Is there anything else you would specifically like to be able to do?
Real-t=
ime call logging is one obvious item...

I've recently been thinking about installing Asterisk but am unsure as to =
the current xAP support for it. Patrick - you were writing a connector for
=
it weren't you? Is it complete?

Thanks,

Paul.
