Detecting on incoming call with the Meteor is no problem but unless I
have  
overlooked something, there is no method within the HS API to initiate an
incoming call (or CID available) event.
You can do all the regular stuff, hs.execx10
("A1","ON") no problem, but 
something like "hs.incomingcall = true" just isn't there.
That leaves poncing about with virtual devices or using HSP and a modem.
Perhaps an email to Rich is in order?

Cheers,
Justin.
