You use CAS. So you don't need special handling of the D channel. Just
define it like any other channel.

You get "(In Use)" when Asterisk or anybody else opens the channel for
reading. Note that in your case it will be chan_unicall rather than
chan_zap.

See http://rapid.tzafrir.org.il/docs/README.html#toc20 (the /proc
interface). This is the README file from the Zaptel distribution.

Jsut a dumb question: are all four ports connected to the telco? If not:
which of them is?
