Hi Goran,

you don't say what degree of access is required so I'm assuming you want 
to call a specific service. A long time ago I wrote a Lotus Notes 
plug-in for a telco to book conference calls via CORBA. IIRC I boiled it 
down to a simplified C-lib which hid away all the CORBA details. So I 
guess the first suggestion would be to look for an existing simplified 
C-lib for whatever service you want to use. More than likely someone has 
already produced one but if not then (IIRC) you need the IDL spec for 
the service and an IDL compiler to produce C-stubs from which to produce 
your own lib. This was a long time ago so maybe there are easier ways now.
