Announcement: YAACID (Caller ID for Asterisk)

I grabbed this hot off the email list:

I'm announcing YAACID: Yet Another Asterisk Caller ID v0.9 it's the first public release. we've been using it in our office for a couple of months now.


YAACID is a native Windows (.NET) program that sits in the notification area and logs into the manager interface. it waits for a call to come in on a monitored channel and then pops up the callerid info in a very intuitive interface (like the callerid boxes for normal phones)

It has a number of other features also:


1. Has the ability to play any custom wav sound when a call comes in

2. Has the ability to spawn a web browser and when a call comes
in, and it can pass any of the following variables to a given web
page:

$CALLERID,$CALLERIDNAME, and $UNIQUEID

YAACID can be configured to have the following url:
http://www.shatterit.com/callinfo.php?cid=$CALLERID&name=$CALLERIDNAME&id=$UNIQUEID

if a call comes in from: 716-852-5872, it will spawn a
browser and go to:

http://www.shatterit.com/callinfo.php?cid=17168525872&name=Mark+Musone&id=12345.3

3. YAACID can hold up to 50 calls in its Call ID History.

Feel free to download it and take a look:
