I'm running a 2.6.22 kernel, zaptel 1.4.9.2 and asterisk 1.4.14. I've 
ensured the driver is loaded in opermode=UK,
dmesg output:

wctdm24xxp: reg is a04c0004

My zapata.conf looks like this:

[trunkgroups]

[channels]
usecallerid=yes
cidsignalling=v23
cidstart=polarity
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=no
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
echocancel=yes
;echotraining=yes
;echocancelwhenbridged=yes
immediate=no
faxdetect=no
fwringdetect=1

context=incoming
group=1
usecallerid=yes
faxdetect=none
signalling=fxs_ks
rxgain=8
txgain=8
callerid=asreceived
channel => 2

I've added a debug entry into my extension.conf:

[incoming]
exten => s,1,Verbose(Callerid => ${CALLERID} -> ${CALLERIDNUM})

When I make an incoming call (I've got two landlines), I see this on my 
terminal:

Asterisk Ready.
