Yes, that's right. Also the 'r' option to record a conference won't work
without chan_zap loaded, for the same reason.

I think you meant zapata.conf. The file /etc/zaptel.conf is required for
the zaptel device modules, and /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf is for chan_zap.

If you are using just ztdummy, then /etc/zaptel.conf can be used just as
it comes in the zaptel distribution (zaptel.conf.sample), and the same
is true with /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf - it can be taken straight from
asterisk/configs/zapata.conf.sample and needs no changes.

In fact if you do "make samples" in your asterisk directory, it will
install default configuration files in the right place for you.

Cheers
Tony
