Up until this beta1, I could not find a way to support the TDM400 analog 
pstn card for incoming calls. For example, pstn line #1 receives normal 
business calls, pstn line #2 receives special calls that need to be 
routed differently then the context for #1, pstn lines #3 and #4 drop 
strictly into an IVR.

With the FreePBX v2 code, I could not find a way to handle "any" 
incoming TDM400 calls. With the beta1 code, they've added the ability to 
address zap interfaces, but implies all four lines have to drop into the 
same context. Not usable given the above.

I've got another system that has a PRI and a TDM400, and the PRI has to 
handle DID's (which the v2 code appears it might be able to do), but 
fell short on the TDM400 non-DID calls.

After implementing the beta1 code yesterday, it looks like they removed 
several items (such as being able to edit conf files directly, crm, etc) 
with no indication as to whether that is permanent or what.

So, how did you handle the TDM400 incoming pstn calls prior to beta1?
