Bruce, it's all good my man <br>Hey Novack...while I'm sure that both of you are quite pleased with your own witty smart-aleck remarks, let me first say, in the past I've sat back (for quite some time, seeing as how I've been on this list for close to what 5 or 6 years under varied emails throughout that time) and watched as others played "policeman" and still others continued to defeat the purpose of...wait for it....the ARCHIVES of the mailing list and the DOCUMENTATION...and said nary a word..In fact, I daresay that I was helpful...Hell, here's one for those who think I'm just ALWAYS an asshole...you know how asterisk moved away from using macros and migrated to gosubs? yeah...guess who it was that not only reported the issue and worked with Murf to figure out what was causing the crashes (that we now know is due to too many recursive macro calls, something like 7 I believe did the trick)<br>

Klinefelter's does happen in 1 in 1000 males. I am sure you can search
that up on the magical Google search engine you pointed me to.

Some of these same aleck's are so intent on commenting on someone's
perceived bad behavior they can't be bothered to do a proper trim, even
of the list footers that serve no purpose other than to take up space
on subsequent messages.<br>
The self appointed list policeman is a chronic offender who is also
quite vocal on what style of posting should or should not be done<br>
<br>
the good news is that many are more than willing to help in some way,
regardless of the few.<br>

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>

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><br>
<br>
The Official Asterisk Wiki, or <i>The Official Asterisk Documentation</i>:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST" target="_blank">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" target="_blank">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>

...feelin' a little grumpy.....<br>
