Oh....Steve...it gets better...Did you know that apparently there's
documentation that accompanies Asterisk?  Apparently, if you go to the
Asterisk website and click the link for "Documentation"...</snark>

The Official Asterisk Wiki, or *The Official Asterisk Documentation*:
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST

There's a section on Asterisk's Channel Drivers, and a subsection on Local
Channels:
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Local+Channel

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...

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.....

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...

Cheers bud!
