And here I thought this might be a useful feature we could exploit in
Bayonne to notify windows desktops about incoming calls without having to
write any code for that platform :). In that sense, I call it a license
hack, since I have no interest in writing things linked with or built on
platforms under proprietary licenses.
Actually, I do need to write a server plugin for Bayonne and a gui applet
client for gnome and kde now. This would be used to notify destkop
users of incoming calls and provide them with callerid information. It
would probably be linked with the proposed TOSI library so that such an
applet can also work with users that have modems plugged into their
workstations...
