asterisk users - Mar 2004 - Help Newbie: TDM Development Kit

Hi!
I am a complete newbie at *asterisk.
I am somwhat stumped.  I have *asterisk successfully running
on a FC-1 distro.
modprobe indicates that wcfxo and wcfxs are successfully
installed.
To get things started, I setup a simple SIP with two clients
(softphones) on my home LAN.
This works OK.  I used the setup example (slightly modified)
from the Jon Todd article.
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/07/03/asterisk.html?page=1
and I found instructions on the X-lite phones.  It appears
to work.
Then, I recieved the Digium development kit X100P and
TDM400P.
I added a line to my extensions as follows:
exten => _9.,1,Dial(ZAP/1/${EXTEN})
Figuring that anything which starts with a 9 should dial
outside the box.
Asterix console reports the following error:
app_dial.c:533 dial_exec: Unable to create channel of type
'ZAP'
Now, I probably need to do something to the zapata.conf
file, but I have no idea what.
Of course, the kit also has a TDM400P card.  I have a phone
plugged into it, but (needless to say) there is no dial tone
or anything.
Help Please ...

Did you compile the zap and lipri and installed ?

Yeah ..
Here's an update.  It turns out I need to have a zaptel.conf
file !?? Ok, so I found that and I now have the followign
setup:
-----------------
>>>> cat zaptel.conf <<<<<
loadzone=us
defaultzone=us

# Load FXS device (a TDM400P) as Channel #, and use
kewlstart FXO signalling 
fxoks=1 

# Load FXO device (a T100X) as Channel #, and use kewlstart
FXS signalling 
fxsks=2 
-----------------
In my zapata.conf file, I have an entry for the TDM400P as
follows:

[channels]

language=en

group=1

context=from-sip
signalling=fxo_ks

mailbox = 2100
callerid = "Fedora" <2100>

channel => 1
--------------
Now, I have two SIP clients on my local LAN, [2000] and
[2100]. The mailbox is at [2999]
Locally (i.e. on the LAN, everything works, i.e., I can
place calls to all my extensions, and leave voice mail.
extension [2000] SIP using X-lite on a PC
extension [2001] SIP using X-lite on a Laptop (PC)
extension [2100] ZAP using the TDM400P board

When I run ztcfg -vv I am getting:
---------------------------------
Zaptel Configuration
=====================
Channel map:

Channel 01: FXO Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01)
Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)

2 channels configured.
---------------------------------
.. which looks OK to me.

Now, of course I need to tell asterisk about the FXO card,
so I add the following to zapata.conf ..
---------------------------------
group=2
signalling=fxs_ks

channel => 2
---------------------------------
and when I start asterisk, this is what shows ...

Parsing '/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf': Found
Registered channel 1, FXO Kewlstart signalling
WARNING Unable to specify channel 2: No such device
: Unable to open channel 2: No such device
here = 0, tmp->channel = 2, channel = 2
msetup_zap: Unable to register channel '2'
WARNING: mast_load_resource: load_module failed, returning
-1
---------------------------------
Any ideas?
BTW: trying to make the X100P channel 1 does not help
either.  ztcfg shows the channels, but asterisk will fail to
load.
Cheers,
Willy
