asterisk users - Dec 2006 - zapata.conf channel variable question

The setvar command below works fine in iax.conf and in sip.conf but not here in
zaptel.conf. I need it to retrieve info from the AstDB. Advice is apreciated,
can't seem to find an answer.
 
; define channels
group=1
context=longdistance_users
signalling=fxo_ks ;FXO Sig for Phone
callerid="John French" <103>
mailbox="101"
callwaiting=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
channel => 1
setvar=USER=analogPhone

It is not a dialplan command. It is a configuration key.

Two problems:

1. setvar does not seem to be supported with zaptel channels.

and:

If you wanted it to take effect you needed to put it before the
'channel' line.
