<DIV><FONT size=2>Greetings to all list members!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My name is Aldo Sudak and I am an Asterisk newbie. I am writing now because
I have not </DIV>
<DIV>been able to find any mention to the issues described below, neither in
this list nor in the wiki.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am performing preliminary tests with Asterisk 1.4.11
and Zaptel 1.4.5.1 on Fedora Core 6. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Installation of all of the Asterisk packages was
straightforward and I always obtained success </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>messages. Following Asterisk and Zaptel installation I ran the
corresponding make config </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>commands in order to have both Asterisk and Zaptel running at
startup. With Zaptel, however, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>two issues arose:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1) zaptel.conf in the /etc/ directory had not been
created. The GUI loaded itself a very rudimentary </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>zaptel.conf file which lacked loadzone and defaultzone
definitions, so I prefered to manually copy </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and paste zaptel.conf.sample from the sources and rename
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2) Zaptel modules loaded during bootup but were not
automatically configured, and so I had to </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>manually run ztcfg and afterwards restart Asterisk each time I
started the computer. I discovered </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>that there did not exist a 'zaptel' file in
the /etc/modprobe.c/ directory, so I made an experiment </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>by installing Zaptel 1.4.4, which generated the file, and then
re-installing Zaptel 1.4.5.1. The </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>experience was successful and now Zaptel 1.4.5.1 is loaded and
configured during bootup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Anyhow , I think all these manipulations should not be
necessary, and I would like to know if I did </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>something wrong in order for all this to be
happening.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Suggestions are welcome.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks in advance.</FONT></DIV>
