It's not necessary to recompile the kernel for mISDN support. Check
http://www.laimbock.com/asterisk/

Grab the mISDN source rpm, and build it.

$ wget http://www.xs4all.nl/~pjl/downloads/asterisk/srpms/mISDN-cvs20061107-2_fc6.lc.src.rpm
$ rpmbuild --rebuild mISDN-cvs20061107-2_fc6.lc.src.rpm

then check /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
You should have the kernel modules and userspace applications. Once
installed, I could enable chan_misdn in asterisk 1.4 without issue,
and it's working great in NT mode with ISDN phones. I haven't tested
asterisk 1.2, but there is no it shouldn't work as well.
