Since updating to Cingular's 2.06 ROM which includes PTT. I have added the PTT service to my line. I could no longer use Sleuth's PPTFix to map the button to the Input Panel. I did not want to change any other button mappings except the Comm Manager button (mapped to Voice Command) since the Comm Manager was already accessible from the Tray.

I found another way to open the input panel using two tools from developers Vijay's Sipswitch (www.Vijay555.com) and Philippe Majerus's Phm Tray Launch (www.phm.lu). Vijay's app allows you to launch the Input Panel with command line parameters to open and switch to the desire SIP panel. So, the trick was to create a shortcut to launch Sipswitch.exe with the Keyboard parameter. Next using PHM Tray Launch I mapped the shortcut created earlier, and enabled PHM Tray Launch. Now I had the icon I needed in the tray to launch the input panel for use with the Dial Lookup and Search plugins from the Treo.

I'm attaching screenshots and a CAB that does all of the work described for you... all you must do to for this to work is Enable PHM Tray Launch (located in Start>Programs

Thanks to Vijay and Philippe for these tools!
