I'm a bit stuck on how the channel monitor should notify asterisk of an 
incoming call.

I think some combination of ast_pickup_call() and ast_pbx_start() might 
be required. Where should I be looking to find this. I've looked in lots 
of channel drivers but I have difficulty still!

I guess that the the asterisk system will (based on configuration) 
answer the call; will it use the channels .requester function to tell 
the channel driver to actually pickup?
