To avoid issues about the host hanging after a reboot due to
upgrades... I think I'll just run a CRON job to stop/start Zaptel and
see if it solves the issue I'm having about Asterisk no longer
answering calls after X weeks of running fine.

Can someone confirm that Zaptel can't be unloaded with Asterisk is
still running (this is on a FreeBSD 6.3 host)?

=> I guess it's OK to ignore Zaptel's "kldunload: can't find file
X.ko: No such file or directory", and just go ahead and stop/start
Asterisk and start Zaptel.
