Due to the lack of distinctive signalling on analog lines, Zaptel always
sees the line as answered immediately upon dialling the line.  If you'd
like more possible states, you're going to have to use a digital trunk,
such as PRI or a SIP trunk provider.

See the 'g' option in the Dial app.  If you want to go on in the dialplan
after the connecting channel has hung up, you need this option.
