[Asterisk-Users] Can someone explain the 's' extension

[Umair Bari]

No, i really dont think so,
 here are few lines from extensions.conf.sample.
 ; Extension names may be numbers, letters, or combinations
; thereof. If an extension name is prefixed by a '_'
; character, it is interpreted as a pattern rather than a
; literal. In patterns, some characters have special meanings:
;
; X - any digit from 0-9
; Z - any digit from 1-9
; N - any digit from 2-9

so _X. will only catch digits from 0-9.
 regards,
 Umair
