Well the solution seems to be good mix of BobS's and BrianW's ideas with 
guidance from TomP, and of course KenB.

<filePro subroutine>
user phone = /usr/local/bin/fpcid
phone = "facetPhone_user_name"
pn = phone
msgbox pn
close phone; end
</filepro>

<shell script /usr/local/bin/fpcid>
trap '' 2
while read person
   do ssh fpcid_user at facetPhone_server \
        /usr/facetphone_utapi/bin/fp_cid \
        -n -s -u $person
done
</shell script>

The above seems to work in testing (at least in FreeBSD). I'll post a more 
complete system (with mapping of unix login names to facetPhone login names) 
when I have finished (including how to generate rsa keys to eliminate needing 
interactivity via ssh) in exchange for someone getting John Esak to comp me a 
version of the "pig".

Integrating filePro into a phone system couldn't get much easier (once you learn 
how to use the USER command :-o )
