That did the trick- I untarred the kernel source, ran "make oldconfig && 
make", and got the linux/version.h file. Then did a "ln -s kernels/linux-
2.6.12 linux-2.6" in the /usr/src dir. Once that was done, went to the 
zaptel dir and it compiled beautifully. Thank you so much.

To answer your question, I am running the latest version in CVS using "cvs 
update -d -r v1-0", and kernel 2.6.12. I ended up building my own kernel 
(not installed) to get this to work (not sure if I could do it the other 
way).

Thanks again for the help, and hopefully my notes will help others.
