Coincidentally, this is exactly how I exercise test code:

; test something
; (changes frequently)
         exten = **,1,                   verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}!${ANI}])
         same = n,                       answer()

I use an ancient Polycom IP 501 just fine.

Does 'dialplan show **@<your-context>' yield any clues?
