I'd like to disable it because I have my own script which generates 
zaptel.conf files and starts up all the cards on my system.
I surely could unload wctdm module inside my script then reload it after 
loading other cards modules but it is not a fair solution...it is what 
I've always done so far before revisiting my script.
The right thing would be to disable this automatic behaviour during boot 
but I'm still searching the right place where that's done.
