Actually, I did. I just had it commented out because I didn't understand
it's use:

exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,n,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)

Darn, forgot that part. I've removed other spaces (in the Dial()'s I
have).

Saw that it's case sencetive while I tried other things, so already
fixed.

Well, I don't want the first part because I want it to return 'invalid
extension, try again' (Playback(pbx-invalid)) for extensions not
configured... In other words, I want every single (local) extension
to be defined.

And I guess the second line is 'dependent' on this, the first one
line... ?

Nice one, but can't do it that way...



But it doesn't work even with these changes... Still get:

    -- Executing [2403 at default:1] Dial("SIP/2401-081cea88", "SIP/2403|20|t") in new stack
[...]
  == Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:1/0/0)
    -- Executing [2403 at default:2] Hangup("SIP/2401-081cea88", "") in new stack
  == Spawn extension (default, 2403, 2) exited non-zero on 'SIP/2401-081cea88'


I.e., it still doesn't do the Goto()...
