The Activa package includes a basic framework that enables integration of Asterisk with your C++ applications
The package also includes an Asterisk TAPI Service Provider (TSP) we called Asterisk ActivaTSP. This TSP enables integration of TAPI third party applications and Asterisk. So for instance you could initiate outbound calls through Asterisk using your Microsoft Outlook and other applications. Call screen-popup is also supported.
