+; Configuration Sections
+; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+; You can also configure channels in a separate zapata.conf section. In
+; this case the keyword 'channel' is not used. Instead the keyword
+; 'zapchan' is used (as in users.conf) - configuration is only processed
+; in a section where the keyword zapchan is used. It will only be
+; processed in the end of the section. Thus the following section:
+;
+;[phones]
+;echocancel = 64
+;zapchan = 1-8
+;group = 1
+;
+; Is somewhat equivalent to the following snippet in the section
+; [channels]:
+;
+;echocancel = 64
+;group = 1
+;channel => 1-8
+;
+; When starting a new section almost all of the configuration values are
+; copied from their values at the end of the section [channels] in
+; zapata.conf and [general] in users.conf - one section's configuration
+; does not affect another one's.
+;
+; Instead of letting common configuration values "slide through" you can 
+; use configuration templates to easily keep the common part in one
+; place and override where needed.
