I have a issue with two Zap clone cards where they used to work.

I am using [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.5 which includes Asterisk 1.24 and Zaptel drivers 1.2.4. The system is a new Intel Celerion machine. I used to have the same cards running in a Intel PIII system. in this system, they worked. In this older system, I was able to call into the machine and call out from it. Now that I have upgraded the entire box, I cannot figure out why the cards are not working or, more correctly, I cannot place or receive calls on them.

First, a bit of background. I have been running this new machine for a few weeks now connecting to the PSTN through an IAX provider. I have some 10 phones connected to Asterisk using several DLink DVG-1120M VOIP "routers". Voicemail, paging, etc. all works. I can call into the IAX trunk and call any phone. I have two POTS lines which I intend to keep - the IAX provider charges by the minutes, thus, I would like to use this connection only as a backup when the POTS lines are in use. The Asterisk system is replacing a Nortel Venture setup. So, I am at the final stage of implementation - get the Zap cards working, sell the Venture phone system.

Now, I have installed the drivers, setup the /etc/zapata.conf and /etc/asterisk/zapata-auto.conf, etc. I have configured Asterisk with two trunks Zap/1 and Zap/2. For testing, I have setup asterisk to sent calls with the dialing prefix  of 9 to the Zap trunks. When I attempt to place a call, I receive the following message:

Mar  5 18:20:29 NOTICE[13927] app_dial.c: Unable to create channel of type 'ZAP' (cause 0 - Unknown)

...on both channels. Neither channel even tried to pickup the line. Anyone have any thoughts of where to look?

Here are some of details that may be useful:
Cards:
02:0b.0 Communication controller: Tiger Jet Network Inc. Tiger3XX Modem/ISDN interface
02:0c.0 Communication controller: Tiger Jet Network Inc. Tiger3XX Modem/ISDN interface

/etc/zaptel.conf:

fxsks=1

# Span 2: WCFXO/1 "Generic Clone Board 2" RED
fxsks=2

# Global data

defaultzone     = us

/etc/asterisk/zatata-auto.conf (as generated by genzapataconf):

zap show status:

(FYI: The Alarms go to OK when the PSTN lines are connected - they were disconnected when I ran this command)

zap show channels:
sterisk2*CLI> zap show ch
channel   channels 
asterisk2*CLI> zap show channels
   Chan Extension  Context         Language   MusicOnHold        
pseudo            from-pstn       en                            


/extension_additional.conf says:
OUT_2 = ZAP/2
OUT_1 = ZAP/1

(changing these to Zap/1 or zap/1 makes no difference)

Anyone have any thoughts on what I am missing? This must be something simple.
