In your [internal] context try something like..

exten => _0.,1,Answer
exten => _0.,2,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN:1})
exten => _0.,3,Hangup

This way Asterisk will send all the digits dialled after the 0 to the
zaptel card and you should be dialing out. You may not need the
answer/hangup lines for your setup.

I'm not sure if this is related with inbound CallerID on an FXO, but to
get Caller ID working on an FXS port I had to make this change to the
chan_zap.c file and recompile:-

http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-August/057349.html

In /usr/src/asterisk/channels/chan_zap.c

#define DEFAULT_CIDRINGS 2 

The default is 1.. Seems we need this set to 2 in Australia, I dare say
making this change might get the inbound caller ID working for you also.

Hope this helps,
