I'm not a slackware user, however on RH linux I had noticed some of those
same issues. Two items seem to be at the root:
1. the wcfxs module was renamed to wctdm some time ago, but a normal cvs 
checkout doesn't handle that unless you do a 'make config' from within 
the zaptel directory, or you manually edit the startup script changes.
The wctdm is needed for the TDM card.
2. On one newly installed system with a T100P and TDM400P installed, I had
to change the load order of the drivers (within the startup script) so
that the TDM400P (wxtdm) got loaded _before_ the T100P driver. The digium
folks seem to think that was because the T100P has never actually been
configured (which we aren't ready to do at this time). But, changing the
order fixed our problem.

Translate into slackware scripts as needed....
