[Asterisk-Users] zapata.conf and zaptel.conf

[firedude at shorelinuxsolutions.com]

Can anyone explain to me the difference in zaptel.conf and zapata.conf? 
I'm trying to get a real clear understanding of them but its getting a 
little murky in places.  I will be setting up a PBX running asterisk with 
2 T100P cards.  I will be bringing a 23 channel PRI into one card and 
connecting the other card to a Nortell 24 channel FXS channel bank.  As I 
understand it zapata.conf is how I configure my channels much like 
IAX.conf or SIP.conf.  Where I'm a bit confused is I think I'm 
understanding it configures the PRI channels but the channel bank channels 
as well.  Would this be correct? If this is the case how does zaptel.conf 
come in to play? If I'm understanding it correctly, zaptel.conf is used to 
configure the T100 cards?  I'm a little bit lost here.  What exactly would 
I be configuring here?  Just telling it what type of cards they are? Sorry 
for such stupid questions but I'm a telephony newbie.  Taking a big plunge 
here. I'm going straight from kindergarden to college.  Again thanks all.
