First you run:
/usr/src/asterisk/agi/fastagi-test
on the remote machine. This file is basically an agi server now.
Then you add a line to your extensions.conf:
exten => 335,1,agi(agi://192.168.0.2)
where 335 is the number you want to dial to test this and 192.168.0.2 is the IP address of the machine running the AGI server.
Save the extensions.conf file and reload asterisk.
Dial 335. You should (assuming the 335 was in the right context and the IP is right etc) hear a collection of numbers over the phone (the unique id) and if you have a look at the console you ran the agi server on (192.168.0.2) you should see something similar to the following:
# ./fastagi-test
AGI Environment Dump from 2452: --
-- accountcode =
-- callerid = "Matt Studio" <1>
-- channel = Zap/2-1
-- context = internal
-- dnid = unknown
-- enhanced = 0.0
-- extension = 335
-- language = en
-- network = yes
-- priority = 1
-- rdnis = unknown
-- request = agi://192.168.0.2
-- type = Zap
-- uniqueid = 1096425459.28

So effectively the fastagi-test file can be used as a template for designing your own remote AGI processes. You would normally use this if you had a cpu intensive AGI task that would be better run on a differnt machine from the one that is running Asterisk.
