Thank-you very much!
Your answer made me understand many things!
So... the point is that I have a Linux application CAPI speaking and I 
would like to connect it with Asterisk. Another goal is to connect 
Asterisk with an ISDN PBX, so I thought that I may do both things at 
once. Now I think that I have to change some architectural parameter... 
If someone has any suggestion on that, I will really appreciate it.
