I am running 1.2.1 and works for me.


exten => _86.,1,Macro(directedPickup) ;  Direct Pickup

[macro-directedPickup]
exten => s,1,Pickup(${MACRO_EXTEN:2});


Remember that the *8 in your features.conf has nothing to do with direct
pickup.  So in your case try replacing _86. with _*8. but I don't know
if that will cause problems.
