<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have installed Asterisk 1.4.20 on Debian Etch. The server
has no telephony card </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>installed, but I have anyhow installed Zaptel (Zaptel-1.4.9)
in order to be able to use MeetMe. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The Zaptel modules load normally. I obtain the following
prompts:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>kerplunk:/# /etc/init.d/zaptel start<BR>Loading zaptel
framework: done.<BR>Waiting for zap to come online...OK<BR>Loading zaptel
hardware modules: ztdummy.<BR>Running ztcfg: done.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I can confirm that Zaptel is loaded:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>kerplunk:/# lsmod | grep
zaptel<BR>zaptel
184548 1
ztdummy<BR>crc_ccitt
2240 1 zaptel</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> </DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Anyhow, when I attempt to start Asterisk, I obtain the
following:</FONT></DIV>

asterisk.c:2954 main: Asterisk has detected a problem with your Zaptel
configuration and will </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>shutdown for your protection. You have
options:</FONT><FONT size=2><BR> 1.
You only have to compile Zaptel support into Asterisk if you need it. One
option is to recompile without Zaptel support.</FONT><FONT
size=2><BR> 2. You only have to load
Zaptel drivers if you want to take advantage of Zaptel services. One
option is to unload zaptel</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> modules if you don't need
them.<BR> 3. If you need Zaptel
services, you must correctly configure Zaptel.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Of course, because I have no Zaptel hardware I did not
configure zaptel.conf. I really would </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>not know what to configure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Ideas are welcome. </FONT><FONT size=2>Thanks in
advance.</FONT></DIV>
