Development

OK, I am a computer programmer [and a good one too--VB, C++, C#] and an A/V installer. I never dealt with phones though.

Now, I gotta Tablet PC that I use for home automation (Crestron based system). I want this Tablet PC to also become a PHONE.

I've got NEC IPS-2000 switch and a bunch of NEC ITR-16D phones. The switch is also connected to an outside world... [I did not install these--this is what my phone guy told me... but I don't think he lied ]

The PC runs Windows CE .NET 4.2 and I want to write an app to turn it into a phone. I know there are some softphones around, but I've no idea if this is what I need. Ideally, I'd like to get some sort of SDK that I can use and program my own app.

I tried searching on the net [including NEC website], but I got all zoned out--there's too much I don't know.

If anyone's got any piece of wisdom that would rectify my ignorance , you are welcome to speak freely. (Please don't embarass me too much.)

Thank you to all,
