I thought that the definitions in the zaptel.conf and zapata.conf (see 
below) defined the channel numbers, not the physical channels themselves 
? I use Dial(zap/g3) to call on the zap channels.

/* zapata.conf */

context=isdn32-b
prilocaldialplan=national
internationalprefix = 00
nationalprefix = 0
localprefix = 01702
group=1
signalling=pri_cpe
switchtype=euroisdn
channel=1-15,17-31

context=meridian-b
group=2
signalling=pri_net
switchtype=euroisdn
channel=32-46,48-62

context=isdn32-a
pridialplan=unknown
group=3
signalling=pri_cpe
switchtype=euroisdn
channel=63-77,79-93

context=meridian-a
group=4
signalling=pri_net
switchtype=euroisdn
channel=94-108,110-124
