As Staffan says you should use the latest zaptel via svn. There are known issues with the ports version.
To use ztdummy you need to recompile your kernel as per the instructions. It uses a s/w timer and if you don't recompile it will give all sorts of problems.
You will find that asterisk will work much better if you upgrade to FreeBSD-5.3/4, there has been a lot of work on threaded libraries which asterisk relies on.

I'm running RELEASE 5.2.1 should cvsup to stable (I should really)? When
you say cvs version are you talking of the zaptel FreeBSD port or the
src release of the driver? The current version installed is
/var/db/pkg/zaptel-0.8_1/
Actually I meant the svn version of the FreeBSD driver. It is at https://svn.bluezbox.com/repos/zaptel-bsd .

Well, meetme was just from memory. What module is the one complaining? Try starting asterisk with
# asterisk -cv
in order to get a bit more verbose output when it starts up. I realize that chan_iax2 might also use zaptel timing. Do you use that?
