[Freeswitch-users] Weird results with "show calls"

This is the classic issue of "channels" vs. "calls":
A "channel' is just a single call leg, but a "call" is two channels
bridged together.

So, dialing from one phone to another phone will yield 2 channels and 1 call.

You homework assignment tonight is to make several calls and
experiment with these commands:

show calls
show channels
show distinct_channels

Try calling from phone to phone as well as trying things like calling
voicemail. Let us know if you have any more questions.
