[Asterisk-Users] (Yet another) Music on hold problem and another...

[Neil A. Hillard]

Hi,

Thanks for that bit of info, I understand now !!!  I've compiled up
ztdummy and loaded it with modprobe.  an lsmod shows that it's loaded.

Unfortunately the wiki's down at the moment, so is there anything I have
to do, apart from restarting * for the module to take effect.  I can't
work out if I need to put anything into zaptel.conf or one of the *
.conf files.

Apologies if I'm being thick !!!

Many thanks in advance,


                                Neil.
