I'm sorry, this isn't nearly enough information for anyone to help you. What trouble have you had, doing what, exactly? Give us hardware and OS information, too.

Software for download is there. This program is used to monitor Asterisk, / Trixbox.

It is in a Tar format, and I can't get it to install.

When I went to download it it told me its a .rpm not a tar file.

Download the RPM,

Open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install rpm

unpack the RPM file and copy the content of the usr dir to /usr (i used mc for this)

and just start /usr/fonality/hud-lite/start_HUD.sh

i made a starter for it and put the command into the session manager.

You should convert the rpm to a deb file for use in the Ubuntu package manger.
sudo apt-get install alien
sudo alien /path/to/file.rpm

alien fails on this RPM - others have supposedly had success with cpio to extract the files from RPM and then just running the launch script, or by installing the RPM package and doing rpm-i --nodeps hudlite...rpm. Installing the RPM failed for me with:

error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000

And extracting the RPM allowed me to actually RUN the client, which connects to the server and sees all the existing extensions, but won't _work_ (no user status, no click-to-call) etc...
