In case you haven't looked, there are numerous examples in code/public
beginning w/ asterisk.  The integration that seems most prevalent is CID
via AGI calls w/i the asterisk dial-plan.  While that seems ok for
non-state sensitive integration, it wasn't sufficient for my needs.  As
a result, I created an xAP daemon called axc (asterisk xAP connector).
It isn't intrusive to the asterisk dial-plan because it runs independent
of asterisk and connects via the TCP manager interface.  I should
acknowledge Jason S. as his original xap-info daemon gave me the idea to
create axc.  axc provides CID, on-/off- hook "like" info, outbound call
info, and voicemail read/total counts.  axc performs call state tracking
and therefore provides information that ties the history of call events
(to include call duration).

For the time being, axc can be found at http://limings.net/xap/axc.
Separately, you can also find the collection of user code and patched mh
libraries that I use at the same location.  The latter will eventually
go away once I submit those patches.  Unfortunately, there is no
step-wise instructions or documentation; but, my mh user code is heavily
documented and the axc.conf and README should be sufficient to get you
started if you decide to pursue this route.  I'll be happy to answer any
questions that you might have.
