Asterisk is running and working for all SIP phones and the TE121,
connected to an E1 :)

I'm beginning to wonder if the card (the TDM400) is actually OK, or if
the FXS module might be broken...

About the channel configuration: Is it invalid to associate a group to
an analog line? Right now, I said Asterik to Dial(ZAP/g4/${EXTEN}) when
the extension for channel 34 gets called from outside. Could it be
possible that a channel with FXO signalling ignores the group= option in
zapata.conf?
