[asterisk-users] OT - Differences between modprobe and insmod

[Olivier]

hello,

Here (http://updates.xorcom.com/astribank/bristuff/1.4/INSTALL.html) you can
read :

cd qozap
modprobe zaptel
insmod qozap.o (for kernel 2.4)
insmod qozap.ko (for kernel 2.6)
ztcfg

I thought modprobe was a replacement for insmod.
Can someone be kind enough to explain :
1. the difference between modprobe and insmod,
2. why should both commands be issued,
3. how modprobe and insmod compare with statements included in
/etc/default/zaptel in Debian systems

Regards
