Telegraph users - May 2007 - banking_demo on a distant server

Hi

Telegraph is really an excellent idea.  I think it''s a good alternative
to
voicexml development, which was supposed to help web and telephony
convergence, but is still way too expensive. I also had a look at RAGI some
time ago but there''s not much going on lately. There are of course some
features to work on to make this as friendly as voicexml, such as playing
audio files from another server or supporting more specific grammars or
bargein behaviours. I''m not sure to which extend it would be possible
with
asterisk.

I''ve installed the banking demo and it''s working fine on the
same box.

I''ve also tried to install the rails app on a different server from
asterisk, and when dialing in, asterisk can''t connect to it.
In the CLI, I get the following warning:
WARNING[8885]: res_agi.c:205 launch_netscript: Connect to
''agi://192.168.0.5:4573/account/index'' failed: Connection
refused

Do you have any idea why?

Thanks for the hard work and I hope I can be of some help making this
project move forward.

Hoang-Anh -
  Thanks for the email.  I agree with your comments on voicexml and this is
much of what Telegraph is trying to address.

1) There is no reason the Telegraph/Rails app and Asterisk can''t be on
separate boxes.  My guess is maybe your firewall or iptables is blocking the
connection?  can you telnet from the asterisk box into the telegraph box
using port 4573?

b) Telegraph is a fresh extraction.  Its got features we needed for our app,
and hopefully a framework for more features, but as you use it to develop, I
highly encourage you to develop and contribute back grammars or so on that
you find useful.  Or, bring up what you are trying to do on this list and we
can hopefully engage the community in solving it.

Best
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan

I can''t telnet on this port. However it doesn''t seem like a
port issue.  I
did the following test:
- the rails app is on port 3010. I can telnet on port 3010.
- I change the rails app to be on port 3011 and configure ragi to be on port
3010. I can''t telnet on port 3010 anymore.

Am I missing something trivial here? Any requirement on the non asterisk
box?
Has anyone tried this configuration?
