Overview
The Activa project includes an Asterisk TAPI Service Provider (TSP) we called ActivaTSP for Asterisk. This TSP enables integration of TAPI third party applications and Asterisk.
So with ActivaTSP you can initiate Asterisk outbound calls using your Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Dialer, ACT!, TapiCall and many more desktop or server TAPI-compatible applications. More advanced features such as call screen-popup, ACD queues login/logout/pause/unpause and even predictive calls are also supported.
