asterisk users - Jan 2006 - ZAP - Can't pickup calls on Analog Trunk

We have 4 analog line and 2 analog trunks.  On the trunks we have all
the DIDs coming into the current phone system.  Trying to get everything
moved over to Asterisk but having issues picking up the calls on the
analog trunk.

We can receive calls on the plain analog lines and we can call out on
all analog lines and analog trunks.  When a call comes in on the trunk
line the ZAP channels don't even see anything happening on that channel.

Analog lines are channel 1-4 the trunks are on channel 5 and 6.  Both
cards are Wildcard TDM400.

What are we doing wrong?

Are the trunks just pots lines (plain old telephone service lines)? If 
you don't know you could put an analog phone on the incoming lines and 
verify you can dial out. Also, if you call the line the phone should 
ring. If this is true then you will need fxoks in your pbx instead of 
the fxsks.

They are lines from the phone company but unlike normal phone lines in
the fact that they have multiple numbers per trunk line.  Such as trunk
1 has the following numbers assigned to it:
555-1111
555-1112
555-1113
555-1114
555-1115

On the old PBX these lines are picked up and the then the called number
is checked, from there the call is routed to the appropriate desk phone.
Because of that I am not sure I can plug a standard phone in and get
that phone to ring, I will give it a shot and see what happens.  I can
however make calls out of the trunk through Asterisk this leads me to
believe that it is correct to have FXO ports using fxsks instead of FXS
with fxoks.

What you have are DID trunks, you need to know what signaling they use
E&M E&M Wink, E&M Wink Immediate.

If you can checkthe config on your existing PBX it may ell you. If not
you may need to call the Telco and (gasp!) ask!
