This still doesn't make sense because you did not Dial()
before jumping based on ${DIALSTATUS}.

Then maybe

[default]
exten => _X.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},20)
exten => _X.,n,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)

exten => s-ANSWER,1,Hangup()
exten => s-BUSY,1,VoiceMail(${EXTEN},b)
exten => s-NOANSWER,1,VoiceMail(${EXTEN},u)
exten => s-CHANUNAVAIL,1,Playback(pbx-invalid)
exten => _s-.,1,Goto(s-NOANSWER,1)

Or you could define every extension and use a macro. There's an example
in the default extensions.conf file (if you ran `make samples`).
