I misread your message then, I apologize.

immediate=yes means it immeditely enters the dialplan at the given context's 
's' extension.  It can dial an extension, execute an AGI, make your coffee... 
whatever you have in the dialplan.

Now to answer your question though -- how do you intend for Asterisk to 
physically pick up some telephone somewhere?  Are you wanting extension 5, 
for example, to not ring a telephone on an FXS port but have the phone 
automatically answer?  The phone needs to have auto-answer capability...  
Asterisk can't make something answer a line, it can only ring the FXS port 
and wait for the connected device to answer...
