Thanks Lawrence for your prompt answer,
I have perhaps to read the doc too :), but which documentation are you
talking about ?

By the way : 
- I also use chan_capi 0.3.1.
- My ISDN access is provided by my telco France Telecom

-My capi.conf file is : 
;====================================================
[general]
nationalprefix=0
internationalprefix=00
rxgain=0.8
txgain=0.8

[interfaces]
msn=0492919500
incomingmsn=*
controller=1
softdtmf=1
accountcode=
context=from_capi_1
;echosquelch=1
;echocancel=yes
;echotail=64
callgroup=1
deflect=12345678
devices=2
;====================================================
