zapata.conf is only for Zap devices.  I believe modem.conf configures

You should definitely look at the CAPI driver that Kapejod wrote, though.  
www.junghanns.net.

It delivers much better latency, and more features.

There's stuff in modem.conf.  But like I said you should look at Kapejod's 
CAPI driver.
