I'm not 100% sure I'm correctly understanding these latter two questions.

Anyway, refering to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Services_Digital_Network / Basic
rate Interface paragraph, my setup includes :
- a single network termination unit, installed and managed by telco, is
connected to public network through 2 twisted pairs,
- this unit includes two small electronic cards,
- each card has two RJ45 sockets,
- each card is connected through a single Cat5 straight, 1m long patch cord
to a single BRI port from my Patton box,
- both Patton's BRI ports are managed as a "hunt group" (for outbound
calls),
- for inbound, I didn't checked but usually, Telco sends one call on one
interface, the next one and the next interface.

So to summarize, (I think):
- I'm getting ISDN signal from two distinct copper pairs,
- it is not an S0-bus.

You mean: layer1 is down but layer3 remains up ?
I'm seeing layer3 going down for 4 or 5 seconds, then up again. This
happens for both interfaces.

Can you elaborate a bit ?
I'm using an old Asterisk 1.6.1 version there so I can't rely on T.38/T.30
gateway feature at the moment.
