Ok. I've got it.
1. Answer() [pbx_config]
2. System(env echo -e
"Channel:DAHDI/g0/abbbcccdddd\\nContext:send-test\\nExtension:
s\\nPriority: 1\\n" >/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/call-${UNIQUEID})
[pbx_config]
3. HangUp() [pbx_config]
The real trick here is that Originate needs the channel specified
_exactly_ as it would be in the Dial() command, which, of course, is why
there's no need for a dial command.
TaDa.
Thanks to one and all.
