After about 6 hours of debugging and digging, I finally got the 
Freeswitch installation to dial extensions attached/registered to it.

Buried away in the Freeswitch wikis are 2-3 lines of example for 
mod_sofia that show using a % to separate the extension/number and the 
server name instead of the @ sign that's using in 99% of the 
documentation.  The % syntax means "local".

*sigh*

Now I can get on with working on the conference automated dialing code 
that I was originally trying to prototype through the command line.  
Those commands just weren't working 'cause I was using the @ syntax so 
it was attempting to find a remote server named testsrv.marketel instead 
of routing the call through the local registration list.
