| automation.
| (example for rc.K)
| 
| # unload zaptel modules on shutdown.
| # asterisk should not be running when this occurs
| 
| /sbin/modprobe -r wcfxs
| /sbin/modprobe -r xct1xxp
| /sbin/modprobe -r zaptel
| 
| I haven't tested this extensively, but it has worked the one time I 
| tested it.

I tried your suggestion, but still get the hang of the TDM card (4 fxo modules)
