And why would you think those would act similarly? They don't.

Zap channels without ISDN or R2 signaling don't have a target extension 
to deliver to. They have no idea what phone number was called to make 
that channel ring, they only know the channel is ringing. They send the 
call to the "s" extension in whatever context you direct them to.

For now, you can simulate what you want by making each channel on the 
TDM400 go to a separate inbound context, and then using Goto() to go 
from there to the desired "incoming number" in your "incoming" context. 
With a PRI (which is what you would likely install in a real application 
of this type), you would actually receive the dialed number from the 
telco, and could route the call based on that.
