Does cti.espol.edu.ec use a self-signed SSL certificate? When Gabble 
encounters a certificate it doesn't trust, it pops up a 
ServerTLSConnection channel 
<http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec/Channel_Type_Server_TLS_Connection.html> 
to ask a client to say yes or no, and pauses the connection attempt 
until it gets a reply.

The quickest way to verify whether this is the issue is to set the 
'ignore-ssl-errors' parameter to True. (But you should not do this 
except for testing purposes.)

If you're using telepathy-python to drive the CM directly (rather than 
using Mission Control, which I highly recommend you do), then you will 
need to listen for the NewChannels signal, find the ServerTLSConnection 
channel, examine the certificate and call Accept() or Reject() on it as 
appropriate. (Or you may simply Close() the channel, in which case 
Gabble will fall back to looking at the ignore-ssl-errors connection 
parameter.)

If you're using Mission Control, it should dispatch the channel to an 
appropriate handler (which, for instance, Empathy provides), or Close() 
it if none is available.

Hope this helps,
