I don't think you can do that, since asterisk has no way to know when
the shared PSTN line is answered by your analog phones...
I don't think asterisk "counts" the rings, as much as it waits for
"answered" status, which it is never going to see in your current
configuration.
I am a relative newb though, so maybe someone else here has a
brilliant idea for you?

You have a point but no way am I going to accept that as an answer.
Here's the log off such case :

Jul 16 21:59:29 DEBUG[4411] pbx.c: Launching 'Set'
As you can see, the first two events are "event Ring" and "event Ring/Answered".
What I need is the driver of chan_zap.c counting 5 "event Ring" before
starting Ring/Answered.
It can't be that hard (I think).
Thank you for your answer.
