but I've been nothing but impressed so far.
Sam, what did I say about this. Give service (and a fair price) above and beyond what is expected in a transparent way and people will reward you with compliments and more business opportunities. Nice to see that your are earning the respect of your clients.
It looks like you are specializing in OBi ATAs. If you (or others) want to add more value to your company and create a leadership role in this community, you can use your programming skills to create interesting solutions for the OBi community. For example, a Google hangout callback "proof of concept" solution is floating here in the forums (gigcass/Azrobert). OBi has their hands tied by Google and can not come out with their own firmware solution. If you can figure out the OBi macro programing script logic and accomplish the callback in a painless way, all other solutions will be overkill as I expect people will prefer to simply buy an ATA as opposed to setting up an Asterisk box to achieve this. OBi already has native callback functionality based on CID. If we need a firmware tweak to make it easier to accomplish this please let us know if it is within your skill set. I am certain that our friends gigcass and Azrobert are available for encouragement. I am almost certain that obihai would listen to some good business arguments from serious people to make firmware tweaks that would make it simpler to achieve this ATA behavior. Giving the OBi the ability to pass HTTP parameters natively should respect any signed agreement that they have with Google as it is generic in nature. Everyone one could be happy with this. Build this and I am certain they will come!

What might OBIhai say, if anything, about third parties making modifications to their firmware?

Any modifications, if any, would be made by obihai. The scripting could be left to the users. While we are at it, it could also be implemented in a simpler way by obihai. Consider it as an alternate way to pass telephone number parameters via http. I already use the ddns method proposed by gigcass to connect to a far away unit. I think the concept is sound. It may need to be tweaked in the firmware to make it easier (natively) to apply directly without any hacks. Some web apps already manipulate telephone numbers via http. Perhaps not the best example but consider Telify ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/telify/ )
"Converts telephone numbers into clickable links for use with CTI applications, SIP clients, Skype, Netmeeting, snom phones, the AGFEO TK-Suite Client and SerVonic IXI-PCS."
Perhaps a better example are snom phones and some Grandstream phones. Telephone numbers can be passed via http to their hardware. We need the OBi equivalent. This is not a ground breaking idea.

Good luck with that.

This puts Sherman (VP Marketing obihai) on the spot. What does he have to say about a marketing opportunity like this.
