Do you need the busy detect feature as this often can cause random drop
outs.

Try changing busydetect=yes to busydetect=no in zapata.conf.

Assuming that asterisk still works (i.e. it detects when people hang up
and when lines are busy (most lines will do it ok but some won't (e.g.
ntl cable in the UK from personal experience)) then that *should* solve
your problem, if not then something more serious is going on.
