[root at pbx dahdi-tools-2.0.0]# cd /usr/src/zaptel-1.4.12.1/
[root at pbx zaptel-1.4.12.1]# make uninstall
make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.
[root at pbx zaptel-1.4.12.1]# make remove
make: *** No rule to make target `remove'.  Stop.
[root at raveon zaptel-1.4.12.1]#

Looking through the makefile there is only a target for make 
uninstall-modules which ofcourse only removes part of zaptel, not the init 
scripts and all the other stuff
