Well, probably not, since I'm prepared to help you out there :D ... I have
some standard routines that can be used.. I have also built a free pascal
unit to interface with the AGI stuff...

I was hoping to make it to UKHA2004 to demonstrate asterisk but funds just
didn't allow it.. there are some great new and interesting features, like
fixed line sms messaging support and bluetooth presence detection that
could integrate nicely with HA..

I really have to take another good look at xpl - being away for so long I
think things have moved on a lot...Is there a primer document...? are there
schaemae for sms messaging, presence etc (i think I saw the caller id
one...along with a nice VFD display and Frank's OSD thing)?

If you change you mind, or just want to poke about let me know I'm more
than happy to help out with anything I can to try and get myself back into
the swing of things...
