I am running asterisk on a elastix 2.2 distro. I have a Queue with EXT 9000 where 3 softphone (c#) extensions belong to this round robin queue.
I know that I could trigger a AGI or AMI event from the dialplan and let in some way a webservice know about the length of the queue and then forward this information to the softphones.
Is there any way that the softphones could get this information directly from asterisk. Either something AsteriskBuiltIn or ElastixBuiltIn.
a last resort (baaaaaad) idea was to open a line, call an encoded number like (555*1) and receive back a dtmf. it is a Bad Way but it would work.
Open for any suggestions
