NOTE: Bear in mind that from time to time remote servers are reconfigured — for example, I recently discovered that all my phone numbers in the demo were out of date. If the demo fails, please contact me so I can repair the damage!

Because of some connection problems with the jabber server, I now test the connection every 10 minutes. In the latest test, the jabber server is .

Step 4. Try it and See

To try this demo, log into your IM client (of course, you'll use the identity you registered). The call into the demo at +1 407 849 4854. You will be asked to state your destination city and your prefered time of departure; you will then get an instant message with the choices for your flights. You can send an IM back with the flight number — just the flight number — or you can speak the number of the flight, e.g., "ten twenty-nine" or "three three three."

Please note that I don't use real flight information! The system as presently constructed doesn't actually use a grammar built on the flight numbers; the VoiceXML 2.0 specification needs a little more work before that becomes easily implementable.

Enjoy.

(Note: Yes, I do plan to upgrade the demo — and yes, I may very well commericalize this. I f you need something like this for your business, please feel free to contact me.)
