Information about the poorly name, RAI (Rails Asterisk Integrator) to go here.

The basic idea: integrate functionality of RAGI and RAMI while making asterisk be on par with
rhtml or rjs as a possible "display".  Also, integrating calls started from a web session with that
session's data.

So, what's here:
Currently the functional part is modifications and addition to RAGI.  In summary

script/asterisk_server - starts a rails AGI server without starting any web server.
controllers/routing - use rails controllers and native routing so that logic that applies to both a web interface and voice interface does not have to be repeated
render_asterisk - function that gives access to CallConnection object from controllers
cc.link_to_dtmf - function that allows numbers inputed into keypad to corrospond to links to other functions
params - agi params as well as params introduced in link_to_dtmf passed into params hash in controller

TODO: 

*Sessions
*RAMI:
Rami implementation not working yet so not included.
Big idea is you can do call origination from RAMI.  If you do call origination from a web session and then pass that call back to AGI, the web session and agi session are linked.


This Example:
This is the simon game, taken from the RAGI package and re-factored into a ActionController.  It also includes a web-based version of the game.

For agi version:
from shell, start script/asterisk_server
have asterisk call agi://agi_server_name/games/simon
obviously the simon sound files need to be in placed as outlined in the RAGI simon readme

For web version
from shell, start script/server
in browser go to, http://server_name/games/simon
