Good to hear.

Some historical info to make things more clear:
The low level call id is assigned by the phone, so we cannot predict
it. The API provided by the phone can be quite limited, so we added
the high level call API in the past. The high level call API uses a
different value to create an unique identifier (think about two
parallell phones which are using the same low level id).

The message sent by GN_OP_GetActiveCalls was found some months ago.
Before this we had to run gnokii --monitor when the phones dials out
or rings to catch the call setup message (there was no known way to
list the active calls). This is the reason why we cannot use the high
level call id with gnokii --hangup or gnokii --answercall.

I'd like to clean up this mess caused by mixing low level and high
level call API. The other solution is to write a little C program,
or add the missing calls to Konstanin's perl module.
