  The Faddeev-Yakubowsky equations in configuration space have been solved for
the four nucleon system. The results with an S-wave interaction model in the
isospin approximation are presented. They concern the bound and scattering
states below the first three-body threshold. The elastic phase-shifts for the
N+NNN reaction in different ($S,T$) channels are given and the corresponding
low energy expansions are discussed. Particular attention is payed to the n+t
elastic cross section. Its resonant structure is well described in terms of a
simple NN interaction. First results concerning the S-matrix for the coupled
N+NNN-NN+NN channels and the strong deuteron-deuteron scattering length are
obtained.
