[cisco-voip] CiscoTSP

Tue Jan 31 09:17:13 EST 2006

let's try an english translation now that i'm awake -

posting XML to the phone to place a call works great.  However, it does 
not allow direct control of features such as hold, conference, etc. You 
can pass softkey instructions, but it is based on index, not based on 
softkey name.

perhaps the larger concern is this requires IP & TCP connectivity from 
every client who wants to initiate a dialing sequence to the ipphone.  
not bad if you host your dial application on a central server, but that 
central server has to lookup (or prompt) for the ip address of every 
phone to know where to POST the XML.
