i need your help expert people of asterisk, I need to be able to make/receive external calls, I dont know what more to do, I cant do that ☹ .  
This is the zaptel. conf

fxoks=1-2  
fxsks=3-4

and the zapata.conf shows that:

signalling=fxo\_ks  
echocancel=yes  
callerid=asreceived  
group=1  
context=from-internal  
channel =\> 1-2

signalling=fxs\_ks  
group=2  
context=from-pstn  
channel=\> 3-4

please send me an example to make/receive a call and I’ll here adapt it to a phone number, another question, with the configuration of two .conf above, the line phones must be in position 1 and 2 and the phones in 3 and 4 in the card?, I’ll appreciate your help…

it depends on what configuration the card is in. Remember, if you have fxo (red) modules, use fxs signalling! yes I know that is backwards.
