Probably you have the modules listed somewhere else that they are getting 
loaded from.  However, I couldn;t really point you in the direction of where 
to look without knowing what Linux distro you are using.

If you were running Gentoo you'd find it in /etc/modules/autoload.d/kernel-2.
[46] depending on your kernel version.

On (I believe) all Debian-derivitates (ie. Ubuntu) you'd find it 
in /etc/modules

Fedora/RHEL/CentOS I *THINK* its /etc/modules.autoload

You could also have udev setup to do module autoloading

What you might want to do is setup your box to not load the zaptel init script 
at bootup, reboot the box and see if you have the zaptel modules loaded (via 
lsmod), your goal will be to keep digging around your system to find out what 
is loading the modules and get it to stop, then re-setup the zaptel init 
script and it should load them in the proper order for you.

If you watch the console output of your server booting and what loads just 
before/just after you see the zaptel stuff go by, it might give you some 
clues as to when the modules are being loaded which might help you track it 
down.
