{foo, freeswitch@localhost } ! {api, status, ""}.

I received 
  (test@wangdq-laptop)2> 
=ERROR REPORT==== 18-Feb-2010::11:10:13 ===
Error in process <0.41.0> on node 'test@wangdq-laptop' with exit value: {badarg,[{erlang,list_to_existing_atom,["freeswitch@wangdq-laptop"]},{dist_util,recv_challenge,1},{dist_util,handshake_we_started,1}]}


and at freeswitch console : 
   [NOTICE] mod_erlang_event.c:1720 Ignorable error in ei_accept - probable bad client version, bad cookie or bad nodename


and I think the mod_erlang config file is : 


<configuration name="erlang_event.conf" description="Erlang Socket Client">
  <settings>
    <param name="listen-ip" value="0.0.0.0"/>
    <param name="listen-port" value="8031"/>

    <param name="cookie" value="ClueCon"/>
    <param name="shortname" value="true"/>
    <!-- in additon to cookie, optionally restrict by ACL -->
    <param name="apply-inbound-acl" value="lan"/>

    <!-- alternative is "binary" -->
    <param name="encoding" value="string"/>
    <!-- provide compatability with previous OTP release (use with care) -->
    <!--<param name="compat-rel" value="12"/> -->

  </settings>
</configuration>
