-The zaptel drivers and binaries are needed to use popular digital and
-analogue telephony equipment and are typically installed alongside the
-asterisk PBX (although these are not required for asterisk if you are
-not using any hardware to interface with the POTS/PSTN system). Note
-that if you change your kernel after installing zaptel, you'll have to
-re-compile zaptel (a simple re-install will not suffice).
-
-The rc script included will handle loading and unloading kernel modules
-for you. By default, it will attempt to load the wctdm module for the
-common Digium cards, and if this fails, will load ztdummy to give you
-a timing device. Simply edit the MODULES variable at the top of the
-rc script to load other modules if your hardware requires it. These
-modules should *not* be loaded in rc.local or rc.modules, but rather
-here, as starting and stopping rc.zaptel will cause these modules to
-re-read their config file if you make any changes.
-
-Users outside of North America may find that they need to edit the
-zconfig.h file to specify their region's tones. This script does not
-handle that at present. The statement you'll wish to change is:
- #define DEFAULT_TONE_ZONE=0
-
-The Asterisk Handbook First Edition lists the following zones:
- 0 - North America
- 1 - Australia
- 2 - France
- 7 - Japan
- 14 - Taiwan
-There are many others. Consult your documentation, or google.
-
-To start zaptel at system boot, do the following:
- # chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.zaptel
-
-Also, you'll need to add a statement such as the following to rc.local:
- if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zaptel ]; then
- /etc/rc.d/rc.zaptel start
- fi
-
-rc.zaptel will create a lockfile that is removed when the service is
-stopped using this script. Thus, you should probably put this in
-rc.local_shutdown:
- if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zaptel ]; then
- /etc/rc.d/rc.zaptel stop
- fi
