FOP2 (Flash Operator Panel 2) is a web based control panel for Asterisk voice servers that shows you detailed PBX activity, like who is talking and to whom, call durations, held calls, queued calls, etc. It lets you control your phone and perform transfers, launch call spying and whisper, monitor queue activity and more. All from your web browser, without the need to install anything on the client side. This version shows 2 lines per phone and held call status, so you can see exactly what is going on.
