I'm not 100% sure, but I think Fedora Core 2 uses UDEV. Look through 
the output of ps -A and see if there is a udevd running. If there is 
you're running udev and need to read README.udev which is in the zaptel 
source directory.

Things won't be properly loaded until you have udev sorted. As far as I 
know anyway.
