Actually, you may want to make your TSP use the Manager interface. Not ALL of the TAPI primitives are supported, but such is the case with most PBXs. Better yet, you can alter the PBX source to add additional events/commands that can be written into your TSP.
If you need the TSP/MSP (or TAPI/WAV) type of functionality, you will need to look at wrapping AIX, SIP, MGCP, or H323 into an MSP or WAV device. AIX would most likely be the easiest. You would want to support multiple 3rd party pseudo-UAs on a single PC (i.e. multiple "virtual" channels). A closed-source PBX call the "IP Office" offered by Avaya uses TAPI 2.x/3.x to provide 1st and 3rd party control as well as media interfaces. I am under NDA so I can't go into detail. Suffice it to say that what you want to do can in fact be done, given enough effort. I have a client that is interested in a TSAPI wrapper for Asterisk. If somebody has JTAPI we could have a large portion of the CTI universe covered.

Technically you should be able to make a virtual CAPI interface that links to an asterisk (IAX) account or perhaps simply some XMLRPC server (as in, VoIP calling from the PC or instructing asterisk to connect the phone on my desk to a certain number, straight out of outlook or similar) Although I have briefly looked through TAPI I am not familiar enough with its capacities. Any kind of useable interface for CTI with asterisk would serve a great purpose, but would - I expect - be very customer-specific... -- Best regards, Florian Overkamp _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
