Thanks I think this is the nub of the problem.

Unfortunately I don't have access to ISDN hardware so won't be able to debug 
too well remotely.

This isn't shipped by the zaptel package, but is used by the package to gain 
configuration details.. Did you provide this config yourself? OR did it come 
with the hardware.

It seems like the zaptel startup doesn't like the span=1,1,3,ccs,ami from your 
config file.  Did this work with previous versions?

I suspect is is failing on the ztcgf(8) command:

Can you run:

# ztcfg  -vvvt

and forward the results.

Then I would suggest that you need to edit your modified zaptel.conf, until 
ztcfg does run correctly.

I might return to shipping the default zaptel.conf file under /etc so that 
when user mods are made it is brought to immediate attention.  Although the 
default doesn't cover a lot of cases, at least it is a starting point and 
changes will be aparent.

Also the genzaptelconf(8) script, might be able to assist with the 
regeneration of your zaptel.conf file, although we proably don't want to 
automate the running of that just yet.
