[asterisk-users] Macro: s-NOANSWER, _s-.

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

After the Dial application completes, the variable ${DIALSTATUS} will 
contain something like BUSY or NOANSWER or CONGESTION (CONGESTION here 
means like no free phone lines or no route to destination for example)

Then, immediately after the Dial line is the Goto line
   Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
this will in reality evaluate to something like
   Goto(s-CONGESTION,1)
or
   Goto(s-BUSY,1)

based on the contents of the DIALSTATUS variable (which is dependent on 
the results of the Dial application)

Therefore, you need the extensions s-BUSY and s-NOANSWER etc to deal 
with these statuses.
