Can you you please explain the Local Channel concept. I am not sure what should be the Channel line: Channel: xxx/yyy/zzzz<br>

Gosh. This was the first result returned by googling 'asterisk local channel.'<br>

While there is a lot of out of date crap out there, <a href="http://www.voip-info.org" target="_blank">www.voip-info.org</a> is still a valuable resource.<br><font color="#888888">

Apparently, if you go to the Asterisk website and click the link for "Documentation"...</snark><br>
<br>The Official Asterisk Wiki, or <i>The Official Asterisk Documentation</i>:<br><a href="https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST">https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST</a><br><br>There's a section on Asterisk's Channel Drivers, and a subsection on Local Channels:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Local+Channel">https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Local+Channel</a><br><br>Sorry Bruce B, but ya kinda walked into that one by asking the mailing list to explain the Local channel concept instead of doing a quick search on google or even checking the documentation...<br>
<br>Even the pre 1.8 versions of Asterisk had a doc subdirectory in the source tree, and IIRC there was a text file called something like "Local Channels.txt" or "Local Channels.readme", something like that.....<br>
<br>Please, do some of the light lifting, or Steve Edwards will get you...and if he doesn't, rest assured that someone will (myself, when feeling particularly grumpy, included)....Most of us are pretty helpful on this list, but we don't like repeating ourselves or having to post links to easily googled resources...<br>
<br>Cheers bud!<br>Sherwood McGowan<br>...feelin' a little grumpy.....<br></div></div>
