I've had issues with caller ID on TDM400 cards myself. I've never gotten 
fully to the bottom of it either. Sometimes it works, and sometimes I get 
nothing. (when a "normal" phone on the same line gets the ID OK all the 
time)

I don't use FreePBX, so don't know how it configures things, I'm 
suspecting is replaces the incoming caller ID with 'zap1' when it doesn't 
know.

Make sure you have the correct country codes setup in zaptel.conf. I'm 
in the UK, things will be different for you and you might need to do 
some searching... Eg.:

   fxoks=1
   fxsks=3
   fxsks=4
   loadzone=uk
   defaultzone=uk

Also make sure at module load time, the correct country code is passed to 
the module - eg. I have a line:

   options wctdm opermode=UK

in a file in /etc/modprobe.d. Your distribution might have something 
different though.

Also, make sure you use the right signalling in zapata.conf:

   usecallerid=yes
   cidsignalling=v23
   cidstart=polarity

and finally, make sure the line gain is set correctly. (use ztmonitor to 
check)

You may need to work out how all this is hidden inside FreePBX though.

Good luck.
