It's not a bristuff quirck. From my anecdotial knowledge, bristuff/vzaphfc 
seems to "just work" there. Maybe the zaphfc driver lacks the support for
setting the span up.

I figure vzaphfc may share a bit of code with vISDN ...

zaphfc seems to be the least worked-on driver in bristuff. You should
really try vzaphfc instead.

(/me wonders if bristuff will ever get to z)
