Thanks Atis,

that's what I ended up doing and it's fine for my
purpose.
However, I'm still having some trouble trying to
understand why Asterisk does not log the ZAP number as
is otherwise the case for SIP. A description of this
problem is at:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2007-August/193645.html
I could get around the problem by knowing how to tweak
lastapp or lastdata but I still didn't get the trick.
Anyway, thank you for your feedback.
