Alex,

	It may not be able to create a zap channel because the driver isn't 
loaded.  Make sure that you have the kernel modules installed and 
everything working, etc.  Too much to go over right now.  Look in the 
wiki, etc.  But you will need to have it connected to the phoneline to 
make calls over the phone line, of course.

	The X100p does not get power over the phone line.  The PCI bus takes 
care of that.
