The following seems to work (udev permissions file):

    # zaptel device
    zap/*:asterisk:asterisk:644
    zap/channel:asterisk:asterisk:660
    zap/ctl:asterisk:asterisk:660
    zap/pseudo:asterisk:asterisk:660
    zap/timer:asterisk:asterisk:660

If you run Asterisk as root then the above is irrelevant, but nobody
does that - right?
