Kindly consider that your answer could as easily have been 'the 
precompiled freeswitch package you're using is out of date, the wiki is 
correct and the latest software reflects that'.     I'm too new to have 
confidence enough in this package to be editing wikis for all to read.

Which advice I did follow, and thank you for it.  The folk who have 
confidence enough in their knowledge of this package have already made 
due corrections and new folk like me in the future won't be misled by 
wrong documentation.   I wasn't a member of this mailing list two weeks 
ago, nor was I confident enough in my knowledge of freeswitch to know 
whether what I saw was a bug worthy of reportage.  It could have easily 
been me not doing something 'just obvious' to long time users.   Just 
like I'm trying to decide whether a the choice of 'bypass_media=true / 
false' works when extensions access the dialplain,  but 'true' there 
fails to dial out when that same dialplan is called via loopback is an 
understanding gap on my part or a bug.

FWIW I did and do look first there.

Maybe I should look for a 'freeswitch new users list', I don't mean to 
burden what appears to be a close knit community of long time users.
