Clever.  However rather than needing to actually know what the channel
name is, why not use chan_local?  That way the dial plan will figure out
what channel to use, just like when you dial a phone connected to
Asterisk.  chan_local is VERY, VERY useful.  You can do things like
Dial(Local/95551212) and Asterisk will route the call just as though you
daled the number directly.  This way AGI scripts, .call files and stuff
like that don't need to know what interfaces you have or be told what
interface to route calls matching specific pattern should go to.  You
just Dial(Local/blah) and your dial plan will route the call.
