[Asterisk-Users] insmod wcfxo failed ( b8zs, esf, wink start is what I'm trying to do.)

This is a very wasteful and not always going to work correctly command.
There is no need to use cat when grep will work by itself. Next config
lines can have comments on them, and your pattern will eliminate them
from your listing. So you should really do something like...
grep -v '^#' /etc/zaptel.conf
This will just get rid of lines beginning with the comment delimiter.
You might want to add a grep in the pipeline after that that looks for a
alpha character so you can eliminate empty lines. So try using
grep -v '^#' /etc/zaptel.conf | grep '[a-zA-Z0-9]'

dynamic is a way to do TDM phone signaling over ethernet. If you don't
have a T1 interface, you don't need the span line. Also, I think it has
been mentioned on the list, e&m isn't supported on the analog
interfaces. From the looks of the output below, you have a single X100P
or X101P card, and only need to specify the 1 channel as FXO.

Same lesson as above goes here.

You need to have a channel definition. Of course it may have been
excluded by the grep you used.

This is more useful if you use the command lspci.

Now for the fix you need, try placing the card in a different PCI slot.
This card can be finicky about it's environment.
