zaptel.conf is used for the kernel module.  zapata.conf is used for the
Asterisk program.  As MWI is an Asterisk feature, it must therefore be
placed in zapata.conf.

If you're still not convinced, you can do a grep in the various cvs
repositories to confirm which is which:

root at tweedledee:/cvs/asterisk# grep -r '"mailbox"' /cvs/zaptel
root at tweedledee:/cvs/asterisk# grep -r '"mailbox"' channels/chan_zap.c
                } else if (!strcasecmp(v->name, "mailbox")) {
                } else if (!strcasecmp(v->name, "mailbox")) {
