No, I don't have Quicknet; I just have Supira 3000
What modules do I load and how?

Wiki webpage is one with the most information on it but I have a hard
time "clue it together" as the information is either missing or
incomplete.  
Reading through the configuration section the way I understand is that I
need to define the channel on which the calls comes-in, so in my case it
is a phone, and the configuration file is phone.conf.  But there is no
instruction how to make the /dev/phone0 or what modules to load if any.
