VLC does provide a telnet to operate it.

Though you could rewrite/ptimize and make all .php file into a single one file. So, i would convert your dialplan to exten => _258.,1,System(wget http://display/start.php?action=${EXTEN:4}) so, it will call http://display/start.php?action=1 when dialled 2581, and so on http://display/start.php?action=2 when dialled 2582 Your php file action.php will be like nice stuff indeed!!

I had considered something similar to effect Asterisk based control of my homes X-10 automation modules. I was going to use an approach like yours but leverage xsend.exe on the web server PC to send predefined commands to turn on/off specific modules. This would give me IVR based control to start. But then I'd craft a simple web site to effect control from the micro-browser on my Polycom IP650 phones. My project has been delayed due to a decision to switch to a z-wave base home automation that's more reliable than the old X-10 stuff. James,
