Maybe he has NFAS (Non Facility Associated Signalling) where the D channel on one of the BRI lines handles the signalling for the B channles on all 4 BRIs. There is support for NFAS in Asterisk via "trunkgroups" in the zapata.conf config file. I have no idea if this works for bri-stuff as well. It may, since both are zapata devices.
