This change is simply due to different versions of Zaptel. Zaptel >=
1.4.6 prints "to configure" because this message is printed (and has
always been prinetd) before the configuration is actually applied. And
hence fooled poor users into believing that their channels were properly
configured.

In the Asterisk CLI run:

  core set verbose 3

And then see what happens when a call comes in.
Basically you miss an action to do after the Verbose line.

Alternatively, what is the output of:

cat /proc/zaptel/*
asterisk -rx 'zap show channels'
