asterisk users - Jul 2005 - howto on ISDN HFC cards with AAH v1.1

Hi,
Can anyone please point me in a direction as to how to set up these 2 
pci cards with AAH 1.1?

I have (am still) googling left, right & center - but haven't found a 
definitive guide yet.

The centos based setup lacks any of the tools I know (insmod, modprobe 
....) so it is time consuming just to even dig around the AAH box.

There are no zaptel.conf files ....and on it goes.

A shortcut pointer would be great.

TIA,
Zoltan

Nope - remember: you make in the order of  zaptel, libpri then asterisk, 
which siggetst at zaptel time, asterisk is not relevant.
On looking at it, my actual problem was that there was no /usr/src/linux 
link to the headers (only a /usr/src/linux-2.4) - there is also a lovely 
rant about redhat in the README file - so all I had to do was:
    ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4 /usr/src/linux
    ./compile.sh

I wish!!
AAH takes over the entire HD & format it accordingly. I would love to 
have split this HD into 2 partition sets, so that I could install AAH on 
the one set and SuSE9.3 with latest asterisk on the other partition set. 
(I dont have time to play with parted and sort this out as this system 
needs to be up and running by tomorrow)

Cheers for now,
Zoltan

Rather load Asterisk@home 1.3 - fixes other problems....

In 1.3 - I see... (/etc/asterisk)
zapata_additional.conf  zapata-auto.conf  zapata-auto.conf.bak
zapata.conf  zapata.conf.template
-and-  /etc/zaptel.conf  /etc/zaptel.conf.bak  /etc/zaptel.conf.template

There is still no auto-install for HFC cards though...
The "install-AVMB1ISDN" (install support for AVB B1 ISDN card) does
install some www.junghanns.net stuff but not HFC..
Soon maybe?
