First, make sure you are running asterisk with enough verbosity.  Try:

asterisk -vvvvvvrgc

That should tell you at least something that happens when the connection is cut.

Second, more information - what SIP devices are you using?  What Zap hardware and PSTN connections?  (This sounds strangely like the common problem with X-lite, the Xten softphone.  If you are using X-lite, make sure to turn off silence suppression.)  If you are using another SIP device - what is it?

Last, can we see the pertinent sections of your config files (extensions.conf, sip.conf, zapata.conf, zaptel.conf)?

Thanks,
