Looks ok at initial glance.. But I did not take the time 
to really think about what you have..

Here is where your issue is..

The channel= line signifies the end of any config 
information for the channel(s) put here. And if you have a 
config option for an earlier channels and either want it 
to be different of not exist in a later channel, you must 
make that know by adding that option for the current 
channel config. So by what you have above, all three 
channels are using the "default" context. Try using what I 
have wriotten below:

***/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf***
language=en
context=outgoing
signalling=fxo_ks
channel => 1
signalling=fxs_ks
context=incoming
channel => 3,4

The above will direct any incoming calls on channel 3 or 4 
to the incoming context in your dial plan. It will also 
direct any one picking up a phone handset to get dial tone 
and direct what they dial to the outgoing context.

And by your dial plan above, they must use 10 digit 
dialing.

Hope this helps.
