[Asterisk-Users] HFC BRIstuff woes

[Zoltan Szecsei]

Sorry to reply to my own post!!! - but I have solved the immediate problem.

ztdummy was still being loaded which is why zaphfc would not load.
I basically haccked etc/modules so that zaptel loads before zaphfc and 
ztcfg runs after loading zaphfc.
I then hacked /etc/init.d/zaptel so that ztdummy was not loaded and 
zaphfc was.
viola!!

asterisk1*CLI> zap show channels
   Chan Extension  Context         Language   MusicOnHold
 pseudo            demo            en
      1            demo            en
      2            demo            en
asterisk1*CLI>

Does this mean that *both* the ISDN cards are seen & ready for use  ???
Please could someone check my hybrid zapata.conf at the end of this 
email ???

Cheers & thanks,
Zoltan.
