[Asterisk-bsd] Zaptel for 1 port TDM400P

[Dr. Rich Murphey]

Yep, the interface for zaptel driver changed such that using the the 0.5
driver and asterisk current will cause panics and strange behaviors.   

It'd be safest to treat this incompatibility gently.  I have no reason to
suspect that this could physically hurt the cards, but it's possible in
general for bad drivers to harm hardware.

There are compile time checks to ensure the proper zaptel version is
present, but perhaps there should be runtime checks as well, just to protect
the unsuspecting users.
