Hi Tzafrir,

I know it's an ugly hack, but it works.
The only Digium hardware we have at present is in working systems so I can't
play...

A few seconds on the boot time is not that important, it should be a very
rare event on a production machine anyway.

When I build another system I'll have a look at zaptel-helper.

Thanks,
Robert Jenkins.
