I've got basically the same question.  After building everything, I edited
zaptel.conf to include:

span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=1-23
dchan=24
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us

Then, after:

        modprobe wct4xxp

in dmesg, you'll see something like:

Found TE410P at base address fe3ffc00, remapped to f8977c00
TE410P version c01a003a

Registered tone zone 0 (United States / North America)
TE410P: Span 1 configured for ESF/B8ZS

(I also noticed that you can use /sbin/ztcfg to reread /etc/zaptel.conf
after it's been changed.)

So far, I figured I was on the right path.  So then I edited zapata.conf
to include:

switchtype=4ess
signalling=pri_cpe
group = 1
channel => 1-23

However, I can no longer start asterisk.  It doesn't seem to like the
signalling, spitting out the following on startup:

..
 [chan_zap.so] => (Zapata Telephony)
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf': Found
WARNING[1024]: File chan_zap.c, Line 6890 (load_module): Ignoring switchtype

WARNING[1024]: File loader.c, Line 396 (load_modules): Loading module
chan_zap.so failed!

Any information on how to get futher would be greatly appreciated.  None
of the examples I've been able to find seem to be geared towards ISDN
DS1s.

Thanks,
