Hi Michel,

First off, are you sure that these feature codes are supported on your 
type of ISDN line?  Often the features available are different on an ISDN 
line as to on an analogue.

If they are supported, the other thing I can think of is that this may 
have something to do with the numbering plan that you are signalling with.

What numbering plan are you sending?
