SIP dialing with the TWINKLE client, from Ubuntu Linux Terminal. Is it possible?

Question

I have several portable touch computers with Ubuntu Linux 10.04LTS Lucid Lynx, the processor architecture is "i386". I used the TWINKLE VOIP client, and through SIP I can call these devices from an IP phone, and in the same way I can also call an IP phone from touch screen computers.

The problem is that I need a keyboard every time I need to dial a number. No on-screen keyboard function.

Is it possible to dial a sip number directly from a Linux terminal?

If possible, I will include the script in a small GUI application, so that the user will call numbers with my touchscreen GUI application.

If you are viewing the man page for twinkle ( man twinkle), the online version of http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/twinkle.1.html , you will see that there is an opportunity to specify the called side from the command line, and also CLI interface

When you start flickering, you can add -callto dial.

In contrast -c, the CLI is launched (presumably with settings for dialing, answers, etc., but I don’t have it on this machine).

-cmd, CLI . , , .
