Basically, yes.

Something I don't like is (more on Zaptel than on DAHDI): There are a
number of ioctls that can be run on either /dev/dahdi/ctl (/dev/zap/ctl) 
or on the file descriptor of the specific channel. In the case of
calling them through /dev/dahdi/ctl the channel number is passed
explicitly. But this overriding is also possible when calling an ioctl
on a specific channel: I can call, e.g. DAHDI_SET_PARAMS on one channel
and actually set params for another.
