Thanks for the tip. I figured this out after a while ;-)

I can now successfully log on, although I have to type the whole set
twice:

============== telnet
Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
action: Login
username: admin
secret: test

Response: Error
Message: Missing action in request

action: Login
username: admin
secret: test

Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepted
==============

Could it be that AMI uses Asterisk's web server and relies on cookies?

Thank you.
