I am connecting to the AMI from a C# app that was built by others but I 
am using the same information and format as is used for a standard 
telnet connection.  What eneded up working is sending Variable: 
var1=xxxx|var2=xxxxx|var3=xxxx as the last element(I do not think it is 
important that it be last though).  This is how it ended up in C# after 
having established the connection:
//Tell asterisk who to call and to connect them to the IVR
                    clientSocket.Send(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Action: 
Originate\r\nChannel: sip/" + phoneNum1 + "@<provider>\r\nMaxRetries: 
2\r\nRetryTime: 60\r\nWaitTime: 30\r\nContext: <the context>l\r\nExten: 
<the exten>\r\nPriority: 1\r\nCallerid: XXXXXXXXXX\r\nAccount: <CDR 
Accountcode>\r\nVariable: var1=" + memberNum +"|var2=" + phoneNum1 + 
"|var3=" + phoneNum2 + "\r\n\r\n"));

Then in my Dialplan I just use ${var1} ,${var2} , and ${var3}  where I 
need them.

Hope this helps.
