I think it depends on what sort of info you want to display.

If you want to keep a log of all incoming calls, then IMO the best solution
is
to store them in an Access database, and use ASP/ADO to retrieve the data.

If you just want to display small bits of information that change
frequently,
e.g. the last incoming call, or the current temperature, etc. then you can
store
the value as a global within xPLHal and display it using xPLHalWeb.

There is a sample script in utils\globaldemo.aspx that shows you how to
display
the value of a global.
