As I understand your question...

You have a zaptel card with an analog phone connected to a FXS port.
You want CallerID associated with this line.

In your zapata.conf you should have the port defined kind of like:

context=local
signalling=fxo_ks
channel => 1

Just add the lines (before the channel callout!):

callerid="Common Phone Name" <common_phone_number_you_want>

so it looks like:

context=local
signalling=fxo_ks
callerid="Larry's Phone" <101>
channel => 1

Ta Da!
Asterisk will use that as as your CallerID.
