Now you're confusing me, or confused. In what you just quoted, ztdummy is
the first in the list, just above wcfxo, and also listed as a caller of
the zaptel module.

However, firstly, do you have any Digium cards in the system? If not, you
should not have any modules loaded except for ztdummy and zaptel. tor2 and
the ones beginning with w are not required, and should be commented out
in your file /etc/rc.d/init.d/zaptel.

Look in that file for the MODULES and RMODULES lines, and set them to:

MODULES=ztdummy
RMODULES=ztdummy

This is assuming you don't have Digium cards installed. If you do, those
lines should list only the required drivers, and not ztdummy. You should
never load ztdummy if you have a Digium card.

I'm still concerned you can't find reference to USE_RTC. In ztdummy.c
there should be some lines like the following, fairly near to top:

/*
 * NOTE: (only applies to kernel 2.6)
 * If using an i386 architecture without a PC real-time clock,
 * the #define USE_RTC should be commented out.
 */
#if defined(__i386__)
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= VERSION_CODE(2,6,13)
#define USE_RTC
#else
#if 0
#define USE_RTC
#endif
#endif
#endif

And then there are #ifdef lines further down based on USE_RTC.

If you can't find those, then you *definitely* do not have the current version.

Also, you should edit the above section to change the "#if 0" to "#if 1"
(the "#if 0" was a panic reaction to a mistake, and unfortunately has never
been undone).

You're welcome.
