[Asterisk-Users] testing asterisk on FXS lines

I am configuring an asterisk server and I want to test the incoming 
configuration with my FXS handsets.

I have the FXS lines able to call eachother and they can connect out 
the FXO lines.

I changed the context for the FXS lines to "incoming" so that they 
would be able to test the setup for incoming calls.

For the incoming context I have:
[incoming]
exten => s,1,Wait(1)
exten => s,2,Answer()
exten => s,3,Background(hello2) ; this is the file I need to test the 
playback of first

And I do a restart.  When I pickup one of the FXS handsets, though, I 
get this from asterisk (running with the -vvvc arg):
	Starting simple switch on 'Zap/1-1'
and that is it.

I know that the context is right because I put a hard-dial of "202" in 
there and when I dialed it, it would connect to that extension (Zap/2) 
and if I dialed anything else I would get fast busy.

I have checked and the line right after the last exten above is another 
context marker.

The asterisk output also shows the s extensions being loaded under the 
correct context when I do a reload after the restart (to see just the 
messages from the contexts being loaded).

What am I missing to get the FXS lines, in the context "incoming", to 
do the wait/answer/background?

Thanks!
