1. An incoming analog FXO call does not provide a number. Which is why
chan_dahdi gives it an "empty" extension number - 's' . 

Another thing to note is that you expect any call here to dial to an
analog phone on the same line, which will not happen.

Try something along the lines of:

[internal]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,n,NoOp(Got a call)
exten => s,n,Playback(demo-instruct)
exten => s,n,Hangup

Alternatively, look at the [demo] context from the example dialplan. It
should demonstrate a simple IVR.
