Well, it's almost Monday here but I'll see if I can help.

That sounds about right.

No.  The phone should be onhook unless it's pioked up.  I think this may
be an indication that your signalling is not set up correctly.

This does not sound at all normal.  You definitely shouldn't need
immediate=yes.

Are you trying fxs or fxo?  I think your zapata.conf should be using
something like fxo (even though they're fxs lines, you're signalling to
fxo devices).  Is that right?  Somebody may pipe in here because this
last bit has always confused me.

See about, good luck.

These two values may be problematic for you.  Yhey are specific to the
type (not just he model number, but actually what region/vendor they
were intended for).  You may not be able to get the number for yours,
although I can set you up with the right ones.  Now, right now, it
sounds like your phones and your card aren't talking--but when they are,
this will be your next big problem.

This looks right.

This would be right only if the X100P is being detected first, then the
TDM400P and then the T100P.  MAKE SURE THIS IS THE CASE!  Otherwise, you
may be signalling the wrong channel.  If you haven't used it, zttool
might give some hint here.  Otherwise, I'm not really sure how to tell
(ztcfg, anyone?).
