Reboot? Why would you do such a strnage thing?

Well, this was done to allow applications other than Asterisk to use
zaptel (e.g: the package yate). You could naturally change that into:

SUBSYSTEM=="zaptel",    USER="asterisk",  GROUP="dialout"

or even:

SUBSYSTEM=="zaptel",    USER="asterisk"

(both are untested)

Just be aware that you're using non-standard ules and thus it may break
on an upgrade ome time in the future.
