Give the zapata.conf entry a non-existant context (and ensure it does not
fail over to some default context).

The "answer" occur because of entries in the extensions.conf context, not
because of what is specified in zapata.conf. So, if nothing exists in the
extensions.conf to answer incoming calls, it won't answer.

Or, create a context that matches an entry in extensions.conf, but in
the dialplan entries, have something like:
[inbound-home]
 exten => s,1,NoOp,${CALLERID}                        
 exten => s,2,Dial(${PHONE3}&${PHONE4}) 
which will cause two sip phones to ring forever (or until the pstn line
is answered by an analog phone, or until the caller hangs up).
