I rebooted numerous times, the zaptel init would fail no matter what 
until I added the sleep 30 to the start section.  I'm guessing because 
udev is taking too long to create the device files, a smaller sleep 
would probably work but I want to play it extra safe.  It also was 
tossing a bunch of errors on reboot/poweroff (kernel panics after the 
logger shutoff) but I think thats because it doesn't force the module 
unload with the changes they suggest for 2.6 kernel + udev, I fixed this 
by adjusting the order of service shutdowns.

Its pretty annoying, I think I may build my next asterisk production box 
on debian stable or gentoo with a 2.4 kernel for simplicity and 
stability.  This is only an interim box and I just need it to work for a 
few weeks while I build the new dual span box at my new office.  I'd 
reccomend against using FC3 in production for the time being. (Until 
there is better documentation for all the udev stuff)
