I don't know about ejabberd, but this is possible with OpenFire using
the Asterisk-IM plugin. It connects to the AMI and watches for
call/hangup type events, so other than adding an entry to manager.conf
there is nothing special required of Asterisk to make it work. We're
using it here and so far it's working fine.
