Low energy n-{sup 3}H elastic cross sections near the resonance peak are calculated by solving the four-nucleon problem with realistic NN interactions. Three different methods - Alt, Grassberger, and Shandas; hyperspherical harmonics; and Faddeev-Yakubovsky - have been used and their respective results are compared. We conclude on a failure of the existing NN forces to reproduce the n-{sup 3}H total cross section.
