asterisk users - Jun 2004 - No such extension ...

Hi,

when I have an extension 's',every extension should
exist, shouldn't it?

When typing in the console (chan_oss is loaded)
 > dial 830774
I get:
 > No such extension '830774' in context 'local'

What's wrong with my extension.conf?

When I replace the extension name "s" in extension.conf
to "830774" and dial that number, everthing is fine.

Thanks for any hints!
Roger.

P.S.
My exteension.conf is:

 > cat /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
 > [general]
 > static=yes
 > writeprotect=no
 >
 > [globals]
 >
 > [local]
 > exten => s,1,Dial,CAPI/872058:b${EXTEN}|60      ; waehle
 > exten => s,2,Hangup
 > exten => t,1,Hangup

...
I've replaced extension name "s" by "_." and now
everything is fine.

Nevertheless I'm confused, since I think I have
already used "s" as a synonym for "_." (asterisk 0.5 or 0.7)
and it also worked fine.

Maybe I did not remember right. It works now fine anyway.

Roger.
