No, you add the following lines instead: 
incomingmsg=*
msn=4321
isdnmode=ptp

incomingmsn or msn in capi.conf would not work with more than 5 or 6
numbers. Anyhow this is actually in the common sample of capi.conf.
Please check that again.

context in capi.conf only points to a context in extensions.conf
The "exten =>" line goes into the context in extensions.conf

exten _XXX.,1,Dial(CAPI/YYYYYYYY:${EXTEN})

Where YYYYYYYY is the MSN you want to dial (including prefix here).
