What exactly is supported?

Specifically, RHEL does not include Zaptel. And is not likely to include
the kernel Zaptel modules until Zaptel comes closer to mainline kernel.

SLES includes a Zaptel package of its own. 1.2.4 .

Will they support a system that has unsupported kernel code?


What is the alternative? buy support elsewhere. There are people who
will support your Debian / Centos / whatever boxes. With RHEL and SuSE
you have to buy support. With Debian it is optional.
