Please run the following command:

echo | strings `which mpg123` | grep -c mpg123

If the output is 0, you've got mpg321 installed, symlinked to mpg123,
which will not work.  Deinstall mpg321 and install mpg123.

Use the right keywords:  callgroup and pickupgroup.

Yes, define both FXO ports in the same group (e.g. 0) then dial numbers
using the group, (e.g. Dial(Zap/g0/2345678)).
