In zaptel.conf it is perfectly legal to have lines beginning with a '#'. 
With Asterisk '#' is reserved for special directives (currently only
#include and #exec exist).

The asterisk-gui has a script that creates

  /etc/asterisk/dahdi_guiread.conf

With the following content (if the system is Zaptel and not DAHDI)

  [general]
  zaptel
  #include "../zaptel.conf"

This makes it simple to read zaptel.conf through the manager interface
of reading Asterisk configuration files. It also has several other
atvantages:

* The user is well aware of its existance if there are any comments in
  zaptel.conf (the message pointed out above)
* Its format is not of a real valid configuration file ('zaptel' is a
  key without a value), which serves to provides interesting chanlanges
  to configuration parser writiers.
* It assumes the Asterisk configuration file sits at /etc/asterisk .
  Indeed why even bother with a situation where Asterisk can only read
  Zaptel's configuration but not write it?
