Brian West pointed me at chan_zap.c where there is a configuration parameter 
called "priindication" which can be used to set the pri indication to inband 
or out of band, defaulting to out of band.

I have set priindication=outofband in zapata.conf, now I will test this later 
but it looks like it will work.

Posting a new thread now in -dev as to why the blue f*ck there is a pri inband 
configuration option that is 

a) undocumented and 
b) defaults to inband

The mind boggles -- PRI is *always* out of band.
