I have a tdm04b, but not with any fxs modules in it. So, I'll guess
that your asterisk code is rather old since the tdm card has been
using wctdm for some time. The driver wcfxs does not exist in the
current cvs head code.

It would be helpful to know which linux kernel (or distro) you're
using, and which asterisk version you've got installed.

Without any of that info, you might try:
 modprobe wctdm
 ztcfg

Do you have /etc/zaptel.conf with 
 fxsks=1 
 fxoks=4 
(or something like that)?

There has been a fair amount of discussion relative to configuring
that card on the list. Might be helpful to google for some of it.
