ok, thanks for your support, now i've enabled debug on span 1, and
i've make a new entry in extension.conf:

exten => 444,1,Dial(Zap/0/mynumber)

when i call 444 i get in the logs:

Feb 17 03:50:59 DEBUG[3607] chan_sip.c: Setting NAT on RTP to 0

it seems that the only information it gives mi is:

 app_dial.c: Exiting with DIALSTATUS=CHANUNAVAIL.

so it seems that i don't have channel for outgoing calls? how can i check it?
maybe there is another logfile more detailed?

thanks a lot for your help...
