Try adding these right here (right after [channels]. Let's see if
that has any impact on the problem.

For incoming Zap calls (from the TDM card), you do not need to "answer"
the call unless you're going into an IVR. If you are simply ringing
a sip phone, do something like this:

[zap]
exten => s,1,NoOp,${CALLERID}                                      
exten => s,2,Dial(Sip/1234,15)
