Sorry for taking so long getting back.

By static device files you mean they are there when I enter the guest. 
I created them from the host system. (Ref: telephreak.org link below)

Now I'm trying to build Asterisk in the guest but when I go through 
menuselect => Applications; app_flash and app_meetme are XXX'd out. 
They need Zaptel installed.  A lsmod shows zaptel and friends are loaded.

I'm assuming the guest really does have have access but the build 
processes look at something else to determine if Zaptel is installed.

The Zaptel sources are installed and I did a:

make libtonezone.so
copied libtonezone.so to /usr/lib//usr/lib/libtonezone.so.1.0
and made a couple of links to give it more generic names; 
libtonezone.so.1 and libtonezone.so.

This included putting a copy of zaptel.h in /usr/include/linux and 
tomezone.h in /usr/include.  I found these instructions on the 
telephreaks.com site <http://www.telephreak.org/papers/vpa/>.

Is there a way to over-ride make file build and force meetme and flash 
to be built?


TIA,
Rod
