What do you want to happen to incoming calls? send that specific channel
(using context= ) to a context that does not even Answer() the line.

in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf:

signalling=fxs_ks
context=noanswer
channel => 3
; make sure you write another 'context=' after than before the next
; channel

in extensions.conf: I'm not totally sure it is necessary to make this
explicit, but this will reduce the warnings you'll get in the console:

[noanswer]
exten => s,1,Hangup()
